Re: One directory for all view files.

[majna]

I think that you can put in app_controller
beforeRender() {
 $this->viewPath = ''; or '/'
}
cake populate viewPath with current controller name like "posts" and
search in views/posts/ for files
based on action name.

Now cake will search view files in VIEW directory and all controller
view names must be unique or
set from controller action like:
$this->render('posts_index);

 How would you make the distinction between the edit view for one
controller or another? Or add, or anything else?

You could name them as, "controller_name_edit.ctp" for instance, but
you'd have to specify the $viewPath and render() for *every* action.
Granted, the $viewPath would always be the same, so maybe it would be
sufficient to specify it in AppController::beforeFilter(). Maybe. That
seems like a huge pain for little gain.

Yes, CakePHP has a separate folder for each controllers views, but I 
would imagine if you had a ton of controllers you might want to separate 
them anyway?

I recommend you stick with the conventions to start with, and further 
down the track if you still want to change it, you'll find a way.
