Apple has basically said "don't use resource fork resources"
But that does not mean you cannot use resources
They'd just be in the data fork

That said you might look at other means of storing this data so it's  
easy to get at
When you initially open the application and list all the files load  
the meta data about them into an in memory database
Then when you add / remove or alter things about the files you can  
update that database
This should be an order of magnitude faster than resources
