File Management Question

[Alexandre Enkerli]

Well, the "clipping" file seems to lead us to create one big file to 
keep everything together. At least, all data of the same nature 
(clipping as opposed to to-do, etc.). But the fact of the matter is 
that OO isn't meant for huge documents. For one thing, huge documents 
take noticeably longer to open and save. With auto-save, that's pretty 
bad. Then, hoisting and cloning are good and well but doing everything 
in one file could become very confusing. And (AFAIK) it's not possible 
to have sections of a file with different column structures.
So, having multiple files is a much better approach. And using the 
Finder's directory structure as an added layer of hierarchy certainly 
makes sense.
Having said that, OO3 certainly goes a long way toward better 
management of long files (sections, hoisting, etc.). Personally, I'd 
only use that in the final "production" steps of a document and would 
still do most of the grunt work in different files...
