Personally, I like the above directory structure, or at least a hierarchical directory structure rooted at a directory corresponding to your whole project. I also don't know why you'd want to suck in files from just anywhere (i.e. from /tmp). But perhaps others have a reason for this. My one thought is that the project manager should definately be able to handle the above hierarchy. However, the exact names of the directories should default to the proposed ones above, but should not be hard-coded. That is, please allow the user to optionally specify different names for the different directories.
