One better solution would be that the Fox team would add some way to group class libraries into personalized groups (nodes) within the project manager. That would be a great time-saver feature I guess.

In fact I'm currently doing a project with 3 developers on the same project, where one is the lead developer and the other two are working on certain modules, where we use the strategy of synchronizing periodically.

>IMO, The disadvantage of having one class per classlibray is that it clutters up the project manager which does not make it easier to find classes. If you group your classes logically into groups than it might be easier to quickly get at the class you need. For example, I've got a classlib that handles the integration of Crystal Reports into my projects. It only contains classes directly related to Crystal Reports. Another library contains the personal framework. A third one will contain reusable project depended classes. The 4th the project dialogs and forms.
