Using folders as divider replacement works well.Disadvantage of the later - difficult to connect content of different outlines. There are argument for few files with lots of information and for multiple files with fewer information (quicker to load, easier to compare). Then again, using the search function of Finder (constrained to the directory in which you store you outlines) can quickly find the correct outline with the information you seek. Not fragmenting the topic over too many files might become a problem. But more complex topics (like perception) likely need different outlines. Works well when it comes to topics with little information or individual articles/books. Still looking for the best way to store information about topics in outlines.
