"Subfolder for converted files" also for Batch Pro

Please add option "Subfolder for converted files" (from Shell Extension) also for Batch Processing in XnView.
If the images are from more folders/paths, then create subfolder in each when using option "use original path".
Currently it's hard to locate the converted files, especially in the multiple folders with many files, when using rename option.
Thanks.

Couldn't this be achieved this by setting output directory to "$/<subfolder name>", e.g. "$/small"? Sure enough this is too complicated for beginners (how should they know?). So your suggestion is good but should be discussed and refined.

OK, it's working, thanks, but then it should be (quite) easy to implement??
At least it should be in Help.
I think it's very important, because it's really hard to locate many files from multiple folders, or just many files from one large folder.
Another solution - special [>] button with these menu items:
$
$/Converted
...
Perhaps with the hint:
$ (original path)
$/Converted (original path/subfolder name)

+1 Good idea!
The menu should have meaningful entries like
Current directory
Date
Time
...
(A bit like the special button [>] in Batch Rename dialog)
