The problem has more to do with the excessive number of available commands. My suggestion is to cut the clutter and avoid hierarchical UI elements altogether, regardless of their nature.

So we're limited to either only exposing a dozen operations or somehow shoving 200 operations into a flat UI? This seems to be rather unrealistic.

A dozen operations may be more than enough for 80% of users. Designing for the remaining 20% is a common UI design mistake.

So basically the rest of the operations simply cannot exist? I guess you'll never burn another disk, or create a new folder for that matter.
