[Framers] File storage best practice

[William Saylor]

I have to concur with the suggestions to keep everything associated with a project / book in one folder - even though it seemed counterintuitive to organizing by subfolder. I have a 12 chapter textbook with 150 figures and tried segregating the graphics into a separate subfolder and ensuring the linking path was correct. But, having to move across systems - and generating FM pdf book output as well as WebWorks for epub and HTML5 book output - convinced me that one folder works best. But, without an SVN type repository I did have to move older chapters to a separate folder (if I needed to save versions) and could keep the master folder with everything being used in the project.

At my former job, we assigned all graphics a number and everything got dumped in a single folder. A spreadsheet kept track of the name of the graphic, which was usually just the caption. Finding a graphic was very easy if we had the number, and only a little less easy if we had a keyword or two we could home in on.
