[Feature Request] Multi folders management, multi project instance

[jessearmandse]

I'm suggesting either of these two features

1. Multi folders management
   There are situations where we often need to open multiple folders of images and annotations set, and we want to save this configuration, then switch to other dataset.

Currently, the only way to do that is closing all the folder and change which folders are being opened. This can be inefficient when we're working on large numbers of folders, and switching between different set.

2. Multi project instance
   Similar concept to above, but this also includes the label configuration being used for the folders that are currently open

This 2nd feeature can actually be the foundation of multi folders management, as it manages:

• labels and label format
• images and annotations
• any other extra settings

Thanks for writing the issue.

Improved so that when open an images folder which includes sub-folders recursively, the same sub-folders are structured in the annotations folder. The new version 2025.01.11 was released.

Checking on the "Read images folder recursively" option, you can easily switch to another project which includes multiple images and annotations folders.
