Calumma,

I thought if, like me, you have a large quantity of reference materials associated with projects, you might be interested in my workaround. It requires MobileMe and GoodReader.

I've set up a folder on my iDisk called 'refs'. I drag all project-related reference material into there. I also copy the same files into a folder called 'refs' in GoodReader via File Sharing in iTunes (much faster than trying to do a wifi sync!).

I drag the reference files back from iDisk into an Action called 'refs' which I have for all my Projects, thereby creating a link for use on my desktop. This means that one Action 'refs' per Project can hold unlimited links to reference materials. I also then type into the same 'refs' Action, gropen://refs/*.* (*.* being the name of the reference file) to enable the ability to open the reference material on my iDevices.

I'm currently managing a couple of gigs of files this way.

The added plus is that if you have iDisk Sync on, then you don't need internet access to open the reference material on your laptop. Likewise, if you don't have time to sync GoodReader via iTunes, you can get it to pull down from your email inbox, iDisk, etc. copies of the reference materials over wifi, 3g, etc., although not recommended if, like me, you have PDFs that are hundreds of megs in size!

I find another major advantage is that GoodReader opens file types that OmniFocus's viewer can't handle.

Hope the above is of some interest. :)
