I completely agree to have an author's specific folder ONLY when an author create or modify a tile, but I don't agree to put the tiles in map specific folders because a lot of tiles are enough generic to be used in several maps (talking about my GW winter pack for example).
If a tile is really map-specific (for air-base...) I'd prefer that the map name appear in the tex name, no ?
I think I finally would be bored to navigate in too many folder and subfolders and subfolders, ....and so on.
...just my opinion :wink:
I'll weigh in and say that having tiles in map specific folders, that are original to and created by an author for that map, makes sense b/c it allows them to be found more easily for use in later maps. For instance, if one was making a map of Cyprus, and seeing that there is a folder -tex/land/summer/Crete - one would know a map of Crete exists for which new original tiles were made, and one might say, "gee, let me go look at those b/c many probably will be relevant for Cyprus". If it was author specific one would have to be familiar with what maps the author made to know if the tiles might be relevant to a later map. -viking.
