I agree. I've mistakenly deleted files when I intended to delete references before. I don't think the 2 options should be combined. If there should be a delete file option, have seperate menu items for delete reference & delete file. (I'd prefer not to be able to delete files at all from Textmate)

Hi there,
I just want to know the general opinion about deleting files from the project drawer. Personally, I always only "delete references" and I find it a little bit dangerous that the default action in the dialog box is "move to Trash"... I have to be carefull each time I press backspace in the project drawer.
Am I the only one bothered by this behaviour ? What do you guys think ?
I would prefer the default action in the dialog box to be "delete references" and on top of that, another dialog box to confirm that I really want to move the file in the Trash (OK, maybe this would be too much...)
Waiting for your comments :)
Definitely agree with the confirmation.
I find myself deleting all referenced files and re-adding them to the project drawer regularly.
Why?
Because the project drawer doesn't update itself. I often start with a template, then 'save as'. When I do this, the file that I started with in the project gets replaced by the file I saved as. So, I then add the old file back to the project drawer.
I also often work with other people. I copy their files into my project folder, but the newly added files don't appear once switch back to the project.
Consequently, during the course of a whole site, it's (for me) quicker to simply delete all the references and start again each time I save a file.
Maybe I'm not doing things the right way...
