Nick,
the default behavior for a mini panel is to disappear once the application loses focus.

I think that the drawer should be left alone. It is very usable, and I like the fact that I can resize it any way I want.
The disappearing panel is a bad idea. Worst idea I have ever heard... like a ... jump-to-conclusions mat.
Why would it disappear? Where would the panel go?
Just my 2c of de-constructive criticism.
Nick

I am pretty much completely in agreement with Todd. A disappearing panel would be rather annoying to me, partly given the impact on the ability to drag and drop files into it.
A source pane like 10.4 mail would be OK, though I don't see it as really an improvement (then again, I haven't used 10.4 mail yet, so...)

I am not a big fan of the drawer widget. I was excited to hear that apple mail is dropping the drawer come 10.4. I would like to request comments about converting the drawer to a mini panel (the type that disappears when focus is lost). near the top of the panel, there would be a drop down which would list all open projects and files (if an open file has it's own window). as you focus a new window, the mini panel will update to reflect the currently focused window's project or file. in the case of a file, the mini panel would be blank.
I would dislike this. The physical attachment of the file list to the project window is very meaningful and useful to me.
If TextMate were to move to a "source pane" like iTunes and the new Mail instead of the drawer, that would be fine (as well as consistent with those apps). I don't have a problem with the drawer, though.
What are your reservations about the drawer? I know it can sometimes "forget" its assigned width and height when the window is resized, due to some window manager bugs. Anything else?
