Hello RichardJ,
Welcome to the
PhotoDirector forum
I'm not familiar with the trial version interface, but I'd expect this feature to be the same as the paid version.
After you select
Import > Folder, then navigate to the parent folder containing your sub-folders, PhD should provide this option in the
Photo Import window.
If you have it checked, then import the parent folder, you'll see the subfolders displayed in the Library.
