When you use the File|New File…|Managed Object Class route to create classes
you get a dialog that asks you where to save the generated files. This usually
defaults to saving the files, on disk, to the main project directory, but
putting the files in the "virtual" Models folder in the project manager.
Personally, I tend to start every project by creating my own, preferred, folder
hierarchy on disk, then changing the project manager folders to point to those
folders.
Although you can, in theory, leave all the files, on disk, in the main project
folder and simply work with project folders, which are only really logical
groupings, I tend to use the following folder structure on disk (others may do
it differently):
ProjectName
Models
Classes
Resources
English.lproj
French.lproj
…
I then move the files, generated when the project was created, to those
directories, except for the ProjectName-Info.plist and ProjectName_Prefix.pch
files, which I leave in the root directory.
This will cause the files and folders to turn a delicate shade of red :-) First
of all, select the Models folder, press Cmd-I and change the path of the
project folder to point to that on disk. Then do the same to the other folders
and files until the project knows where to find everything.
Needless to say, there is more than one way to tackle this folder management
and others may have their own opinions.
