You would have to use the Stylepicker REBUILD button on every single folder after doing that - and make sure that the "include sub folders" is checked in that dialog. BB will take a bit of time to rebuild the Stylepicker database, but once that's done, it should work the same as before.

However, there may likely be a few features that may not work anymore if you do that.

*You might encounter the "Style Not Found" situation when attempting to load songfiles made previusly, to include the pgmusic Demo songs, etc.

*It won't do much in the way of conserving Disk Space, consider that, even though there are a lot of them, the Style Files inside my bb folder proper are only around 115MB in total, just took a look at that to see what it was.

*Doing such would put you into what would basically be "uncharted territory" - and any problems you may have and report here without including that information every time would likely make troubleshooting or finding a solution to that problem near to impossible for others who have not done that with their Style files.

I have found over the years that changing the Explorer View of the bb folder to "List" and then "By Type" makes it far easier to navigate around inside that folder without resorting to moving things from where the pg music developers intended them to be. Much easier to find things as opposed to the Windows default large icons view.

So my bottom line is that I would NOT recommend doing this.
