I particularily like, that the .tmproj even saves each(!) document's selection which is great for repeatively copying and pasting.
I'm moving to filesystem metadata for this instead
duh! of course! *smacks forehead* I'm beginning to understand what all this metadata will bring us ;-)

cool!
As for the actual project files… maybe they are unavoidable, my plan however is to make them as redunant as possible, so that one could work exclusively with scratch projects (i.e. just opening folders in TM) and still get the benefits of real projects (i.e. all state preserved accross sessions etc.).
actually, there's only three 'killer features' that I use project files for:
a) state preservation (seems to be taken care of with metadata) b) being able to create template based new files c) being able to open them more quickly via Quicksilver (because with a folder I need to use the 'open with...' command and with the project files just the default 'open'
if you could cram all that into ordinary folders that would be great: It's not that I actually *want* project files - I just want the conveniences they bring ;)
@allan: yes, I mean the 'untitled' default filename that one gets when saving what you refer to as 'scratch' projects (the only ones I use)
Okay, I've changed that for 1.1b15.
thanks!
