(My sketches ended before the end of 1st pdf file chunk, otherwise they would be lost or everything would collapse - depending on how Onyx handles unexpected...)

You are right, that the sketch file should be renamed if I rename the file (using Onyx interface) and also should be copied if I copy/move file. (I have the feeling, both files are already correctly moved/copied in this case.)
Hm - splitting of .pdf files is an ugly thing, too (did not have that problem yet, though - could it be fixed?).

In the 24/02/12 1.7 FW, I moved a file and 'lost' my annotations, so it's apparently not working.

But aside from this, I just think it's a bad idea to keep the sketches invisible from the user... Although the M92 file operations are a good basis (the Iliad needed a 3rd party application for that ), it's far from being a convenient way of managing documents... and as soon as I move documents on my PC without thinking of invisible files, I create a mess.

I think that keeping the sketches hidden is a sure way to confuse customers into thinking they just lost their work... and Onyx should have a good interest in avoiding such unhappy customers
