Comment(by mlennert):

 Replying to [comment:1 wenzeslaus]:
 > I would ask for adding description of this and reasons for using
 subgroups to manuals of the modules which are using them, so that it clear
 to everybody. Note there was once an idea to remove subgroups as too
 complicated but perhaps we just miss a better manual and explanations on
 places where subgroups are used. Perhaps the other reason for removing
 subgroups was that there is no consensus on how actually knows who to use
 them.

 The general idea is that you have certain operations (georeferencing,
 projection, export, etc) which you want to apply, for example, to all
 bands of a satellite image, but other operations (classification, etc)
 only to a limited selection. You can thus have a group that combines all
 bands and subgroups that you can create for any specific needs.

 I like this feature, but there might be a better way to solve this, and
 thus get rid of subgroups if they are deemed to be more of a nuisance.
