When I import my feeds (exported from my RSS reader in grouped OPML format), TB does not preserve my feed groups thus creates a flat list of RSS feeds which is actually useless for me! Please note that I have over 200 feeds categorized in grouped, and really does not make sense to have them all in flat.

The good news is that TB already supports the concept of manually creating subfolders in a "RSS News & Blogs" accounts. I'm in wonder why the import section does not create the corresponding subfolders according to OPML groups.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a "RSS News & Blogs" account
2. Click on the created account
3. Click on "Manage Subscriptions..."
4. On "RSS Subscriptions" dialog, click on "Import" button
5. On the "open file" dialog, change the file type to "OPML"
6. Select your OPML file (in GROUPED format, not flat)
7. Import!
