I would prefer to make subgroups optional in the affected imagery
modules.A subgroup can make sense, for example with  Landsat, all the
bands are 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 61, 70, 80. Bands 60, 61 are thermal
bands at about 60m resolution, band 80 is the pan band at 14.5 m
resoltion. A subgroup would contain bands 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 70.
Another subgroup would contain only bands 10, 20, 30.

In any case, the wxGUI should have the option to specify the name of a
subgroup which can be different from the name of the group, but only
maps present in the group can be added to one of its subgroups.
