folder structure

[Fred Ridder]

It really depends on whether you are using a version control system that replicates the repository's directory structure for a given project on each user's system (typical for code-oriented version control or configuration management systems such as SVN or VSS), or whether you are using a system that normally places all checked-out files for a project in the same directory (typical for document-oriented content management systems like Documentum). I have worked with both types of system, and have found that the optimum directory structure is quite different between the two.

> I inherited a book with chapters and files in a complex directory structure. We are changing from one version-control software to another, so now would be a good time to change the folder structure.

> The complex structure makes it difficult to check out all the files in a book at once. It seems to me that it would be easier to have files that are common across products in a common files folder, and to have all the rest of the .FM files for each product/FM book in a single folder, with images in an adjacent folder.
