Massimo, first and foremost kudos and thanks to you for leading such a fabulous framework! I am a former php'er learning python through web2py and enjoying it immensely.
I am able to find the files as you describe, but the problem is not for me to find the files, but for programs. Applications such as text editors can not see these files in this way. To them they can only see the one app/package. So normally where a program like Coda would be able to 'import' all the files of a project for the designer to then edit css, html code, Coda can not. With the number of designers on Mac I'm assuming there is a way for this to work, but could not find it in google/this group/or the documentation. I tried coping them outside the package to then edit them, but of course they were no longer seen by the app and previewing them as raw html is next to useless then. Basically I need to globally reset the apps views and static files path to one outside the package, perform some sort of symlink magic, start exploring compiling from source which I suspect will not be a tidy app and editable files, or hope that someone here has already solved this;) Thanks!
