Ditto folders acting as busses: they're (intentionally) not and would be potentially very confusing - where is a 'bus' being controlled from?
I use Silktone's excellent Sidechain Mixer to achieve this.
http://forum.cakewalk.com...to-a-Bus-m3164260.aspxI simply take each of the tracks inside the folder and route them to a single track outside the folder. ACT sees that track's fader as a sub mix of the folder contents. I wouldn't worry about widgets etc out of whack, and would (personally) just drag the folder out of the way, once your "buss" is set up. Nested folders to me would just be a way to subgroup logical subsets within a single folder (drum sub, o'heads, percussion, room, for eg)
