My takes: I generally have a dataTypes folder at the same level as the MVC folder for 'transfer objects' I'd probably have an events folder at the same level in your case, but I can't see much of an argument for custom events in a properly architected MVC application. Since every write to the model throws a CHANGE event, the Entire app is evented in nature. What is an example of a custom event you'd like to support in your MVC app? I want to test my theory.
As for Files, that screams controller to me. In an app that does file system manipulation via the OS, I'd likely have a fileSystemController class in my controller tree. The built-in browse for files UI is not likely something I'd concern my view tree with, I'd probably just treat it the same way I treat a web service: the controller talks to it and passes any result my app needs to access into the model. If I was making my own views to the file system, thats when I would involve the view tree. Ross P.
