Hey, I would vote for moving the files into folders grouped by functionality. For example: - board/ - board model (class_board, track, via, etc) + core algorithms (zone filling, connectivity, ratsnest) - io/ - all I/O plugins and exporters (in separate subdirectories) + plugin management code - io/kicad - kicad plugin - io/legacy - legacy plgugin - io/exporters/specctra - specctra export code - io/importers/eagle - eagle import code - view/ - GAL display code - tools/ - all GAL tools - legacy/ - all legacy tools/canvas code - ui/ - wx-specific user interface stuff (dialogs, frames, etc.). If we go for separate subfolders, I'd also suggest removing the class_ prefixes from the file names. All of the new code is OOP, so each source file contains a class (or more). In the long term, we could also eliminate linking dependencies between these folders (so that class BOARD has no dependency on the GUI, etc).
