In iTunes, Mail, etc, it's not actually a drawer (:
No.. the iApps have a quite different style from everything else, now. I kinda like the drawer as it is in TM :-).
I like to think of it as the drawer... evolved ;-)
I like to be strictly pedantic and say "It's not a drawer at all." (:
As a matter of fact, Mail for example used to use a drawer just like TM's. The new way of doing it is much more clever IMHO.
Yes; I'm not sold on it for TM but I've never tried to visualize it, or mock it up, or anything like that.
I don't think I've resized the TM project drawer yet...
I've only had to shrink it, a few times.
Interesting to see how differently people use the same software. I'm constantly resizing that thing to read long filenames in a nested directory.
The main difference here is likely to be that I don't run into long filenames at all, pretty much. Which means that the current drawer is more than sufficient.
Now this is a key point: what I do NOT want to happen is to have resizing the project "pane" also resize my text view. Which is what the Mail/iTunes/etc system will do. Using something like RBSplitView or whatever you can actually have it resize the window when you drag the handle, but in my (and possibly _only_ my) opinion that's ugly and un-Mac-like.
But whatever Allan does, I'll get used to, I'm sure-- like I said, I don't think I've ever resized it.
