Blender Project Generation
My proposal is that Blender should have some sort of project generator, that when set to any directory, it automatically generates the folders needed for the textures, 3d files..., and for example, for all materials, the images path of the textures should automatically be set to the Textures folder of the project. And the same for any other file. I think this should improve the project organization. For the file system of the project, maybe it should have the folders for 3d Blend file, Images, Simulations, Renders, Scripts. There should be also an easy switch between projects.

Certainly possible as an addon. E.g. options to define folders to store and then some panels that show unsaved textures and other assets. Or a acript to packagage all assets to a folder structure. Almost like a project management addon that takes care of a lot of defaults for paths etc.
3dsmax uses user-directories to manage libraries, save paths, render ouout paths etc, that could be something to consider as well. In 3dsmax it means that each default path in the render settings for example point s to the user directory first. Personally i can see the benefit though i was not always a fan of these forced upon structures in max.
