After reading the module development and chatting with a few people is seems the best way to organize your module data is to create a category under each banner (maps, story, NPC etc). Is there a simple way to do this all at once by editing the campaign files directly? Is this something an extension could do?

If you just want a single category, with the module name, when you export to a module, then you don't need to create any categories. When FG loads the module it will automatically put exported data that isn't within a category in the module making campaign into a category with the same name as the module. So, if you only intend on having a single category per data type (story, images, items, etc.) then you don't need to create them in you module making campaign - unless you want them to be name differently than the module.

There is no extension to create multiple groups in each object type, or even within the samae object type.

But, it should be easy to do in the xml. Create a sample campaign with some examples, open the xml and take a look. Should be easy to repeat with just changing the id tag and the group name.

It's unlikely to save you any time in reality...
