Consistent with what? Traditional UNIX applications take all document/ source files on the command line; they don't put any of the documents I work on into a dot folder. IDEs create a visible projects folder because they don't have a command line where you could tell them what to work on. For something like Sage to create a directory hierarchy containing source files under .sage and then put in notebooks under obscure names like .sage/.../42/worksheet.txt is completely inconsistent with standard UNIX usage. It's even more inconsistent that apparently I'm supposed to manipulate those files by hand. > > A recursive directory copy of the entire tree does, but that's not > > particularly interesting. > > Why not? (Or you could copy the whole sage_notebook folder.) Because when Sage messes up my notebook folder, I need to fix it by replacing the notebooks that it destroyed, while retaining the notebooks that I have added since.

Moving source files between different trees is done by copying and adding them, even when using version control with other languages. Of course, what's really missing is a hierarchical organization for worksheets, so that I can have one subdirectory (and subproject) for each related set of worksheets.
