But then when should it update the project drawer? You can create a static (thus non-updating) project by dragging files (instead of folders) to the project drawer. If you want to add an entire folder structure as a project you can e.g. create a script as the one attached below, which takes a folder as first argument and writes a tmproj file to stdout. I didn't make it handle special filenames though (like containing quotes).
and a final note: given all that 'heavy weight'-checking that's going on every time i switch back to TM it's kind of disappointing to find that it doesn't seem to pick up changes to currently open files, i.e. when I append something to my to-do list via quicksilver and i switch back to TM, that new line doesn't show up, if the to-do list was open already. i need to switch to another tab and back again to manually enforce the update.
I am not able to reproduce this. When I switch back to TextMate it updates the file if it had no local changes, or ask me, if it did have local changes.
