Howdy Al,
 
You are right, the added organization and work does clarify and simplify the hunting process for a given afl.
 
I just opted to bypass all the organization and let Info Select do the work of searching for me.  InfoSelect is a nifty program that allows you to import data and search quickly.  Got the idea initially from Herman on this board.
 
There is a program that is free that has a lot of Info Select functionality.  I can't remember the name, but I do remember that Tomasz pointed out the programmer is Polish : )

Hi, Gary:
 
Well, in the example you gave, I guess what I'd do is save the code twice, once in the Indicators folder, and again in the systems folder. Or, if it's really a system, perhaps just in the systems folder, since AB automatically keeps the indicator alive in IB. If you begin to get a huge no. of systems, indicators, explorations, and commentaries all in one folder, and you try to load a system into the AA window, don't you find it a bit cumbersome to search through all that garbage (all with the same AFL extension) to finally find the system file you want to load? For further organization, in the Systems folder, I have subfolders for systems with various primary characteristics (like Long Term, Short Term, Channel Breakouts, Experimental, etc., etc.). What's Infoselect?

Hi Al,
 
FWIW, I tried separating AFLs into separate Indicator, System, etc. folders, but found that ultimately to be too confusing.  For example, if you have an ADX indicator you've programmed that also includes a system in the code, where do you put it? 
 
Because AmiBroker allows so much flexibility in coding indicator plots and systems in the same AFL, I don't bother seperating anything.  I import all the afl files into InfoSelect, and if I'm looking for a system I just run a search in InfoSelect.
 
Again FWIW,
Gary

Jayson is right. What I've done is create 4 subfolders under the Amibroker/AFL folder, one for Indicators, one for Explorations, one for Commentaries, and one for Systems. Everything is nicely organized. When you want to migrate your AFL files to another computer, it's a very easy copy/paste procedure. Also, the file broker.charts file contains all your custom indicators, so you could create a backup copy of it, too.

Why keep your custom afl's in files/amibroker? Create a separate directory for your AFL files, move your existing files there, then save that directory. In the future when you save a new AFL just point the save to your new directory. If the folder contains just AFL's it should be of manageable size.....
