@ssgbryan I'm very aware of the search function, but problem reports indicate that it ceases to operate at all if the number of runtimes in the library exceeds 1024. Less and it works. More and search no longer functions. Feels like a bug (or feature) rather than an invitation to debate how we should arrange our content. If everything gets a common name, or people want to eliminate what they see as stroking vendors' egos by naming folders for creator rather than type of content, then those are certainly valid topics of discussion.

@FVerbaas, obfuscation and complication can arise in a similar manner to boiling a frog. Raise the temperature slowly, or accumulate bits and pieces of content over time, all in similar packaging and distribution formats and the extremes on offer may be minimal folders with huge quantities of cryptically named files, or huge numbers of cryptically named folders with few files. If the names are less cryptic or allocated in awareness of what others have done and avoided duplication, then nobody gets hopping or boiling mad. Conjuring the right search terms can be an arcane artform for some.
