store related files into custom sub-directories of the project's directory ?

[SuperUserNameMan]

Hello,

I'm wondering :

Is it an okay practice to create custom sub-directories into the project's main directory ?

I would like to store all related PDF and .ODT and pictures in there so that everything that belongs to the project remains altogether.

Do you have recommendation regarding the naming of these custom sub-directories so that it does not interfere with current or future version of noveWriter ?

Since the project format has changed a bit over the years, the project folder is scanned for files to move, delete or convert, so there is a small chance files in there can be deleted or moved if they happen to match those patterns. It's not very likely though as long as you stay away from the "content" and "meta" folders, don't create a "cache" folder, or create a folder starting with "data_".

It is not recommended, but since people sometimes do add files to the project folder (which has caused issues in the past), the code and backup will now only pick the files that match the expected files of a project. I.e. the additional files you add will not be included in the backup.
