I have all my files organized by folder. Looks like this"

 

All Movies

--Childrens Movies

    |

    - Alvin and the Chipmunks

        |

        - Alvind and the Chpmunks (2009).mkv

        - Alvin and the Chipmunks Shipwrecked.mp4

        - folder.jpg

    - Nemo

    - Cars

       |

       - Cars (2006).avi

       - Cars II (2011).m4v

       - folder.jpg

 

Etcetera, etcetera.

Filtering is not the point as the "By Folders" works fine. All I would like is to have something shown related to the subfolder. No problem to place a .JPG there myself.

 It is similar to XBMC.

This is just not possible with Plex. But the PMS-Forum sections is probably a better place for this discussion. Plex just cared about your media and the presentation. Folders are just used to give your PMS more hints about the actual content. See http://wiki.plexapp.com/index.php/Media_Naming_and_Organization_Guide for details.
