After a long time reading the whole thread, I too agree with this scheme. Then, we may create component's files and use some kind database such as sqlite to store a group of components(meta data) as libraries. This will let us do all database task such as searching, tagging, etc. Editing/copy/paste components in a library will also be easier. Tony
