 Add support for group icon?

I am working on a large project, and was wondering why there isnt support to add a sprite as an icon to a group (as far as I know). It would make life so much easier tbh

While we don't have that, a good way to organize the folders is to separate them by categories, in a very simple way.
Example:

Code:
SPRITES RESOURCES
- GAME
    Characters
        Player
        NPC
    Enemies
        Dinosaur
        Monster
        Skeleton
    Environment
        Backgrounds
        Tilesets
    Particles
    Misc
- UI
    Menu
    Game GUI
    Game Over
    Credits

OBJECTS RESOURCES
- GAME
    Characters
    Enemies
    Effects
    Misc
- UI
    Menu
    GameOver

AUDIO RESOURCES
- MUSIC
    Music1
    Music2
- SFX
    SFX1
    SFX2
    SFX3

It's interesting, but I could (personally) easily mistake myself for a sprite, object, or anything else.
Also, for the icon to remain, it would have to be copied to the cache folder or the project folder.
