Differentiating images in an asset catalog by their group

Select each folder in your asset catalog that you'd like to add a namespace for. Go to the folder attributes and select under the name "Provides Namespace". This should properly set sub-directories for your final asset catalog.

You can do this manually by editing each folder's Contents.json. You would add the following with proper formatting.

"properties" : {
      "provides-namespace" : true
}

Visual Instructions
