Or-Ga-Ni-Zation...

Today saw a welcome return to FishEd, and although not a super-long session, I wanted to evaluate the project thus far, and do a little housekeeping. First of all, I tidied up the screen layout a little, as I'd been throwing gadgets on screen and playing around with ideas without a care. I also took a grab of the screen layout and pasted it into PhotoShop - using a grid is a really easy way to quickly knock up button and GUI layouts that adhere to the various cross-platform rules.

Rounded off the session by going through all my junk files; FishEd's directory was a bit of a mess, and the Max directory now has two versions (one the original, one a cut-down version I send to test pilots). It doesn't pay to have two versions, however, and so a little time was spent tidying up the folders and merging files to bring the project back to just one version.
