I think many is a relative term.  Sumex-aim has many files.  With all its
folderizing I still have trouble finding things.

If you are submitting a publication to a journal you have a pretty god idea
what the name or the abbreviation of that journal is.  For example if the
journal is Glia then I would look in biology under G, Science would be
under S. J-Exp-Biol under J and so on just like in the library.  I think it
is pretty logical and saves a lot of time searching through several
folders.  (Would J Exp Biol be in the Biology  or in the Medicine folder?).
 If the numbers of styles becomes huge then they could be broken in to
folders by alphabet (A-F, G-M, etc.)

Perhaps files that are grouped can be placed in a separate folder.  If one
style has been modified such as Science.w.corregendum then I think that
would be easy to spot in with the rest.

Just my opinion,

David
