Would it make sense to have the directory structure be something that isn't couchapp specific, and instead dump/load *entire databases* to/from disk? I could see that actually making it a simpler tool, since there would be a natural tendency to resist a bunch of special-case handling for corner cases, ease of use, etc. Instead, you'd end up with a directory full of: my_doc_id.json my_doc_id.attachments/my_bin_file.dat my_doc_id.attachments/my_image_file.jpg etc. Then the various couchapp tools could focus on various workflows to make creating the simple structure and calling the default DB load tool. I'm not a couchapp user, so feel free to discard this idea if it doesn't make sense or if it doesn't gain any traction. Cheers, Eli
