I've run into a rather annoying bug, seem that if I create a project by dragging a folder of files onto TextMate, I can't group files, has anyone else had problem with this?

This is not a bug but a limitation. Since a folder reference is a mirror of the file system, TextMate doesn't allow you to make changes in the way the folder is presented (apart from the file/folder patterns).

I do know that some expect to do logical groups in a folder reference, and it's something I'll look into when I redo the project drawer, but there is a technical limitation, namely that contents in the folder can be changed outside TextMate, and TextMate may not be able to track in which way it was changed (e.g. files added/removed/renamed/moved to other folders etc.), so I don't want to store too much meta-data augmenting the information in the file system. If people want 100% freedom, they should add files individually instead of as folder references, and if they want filtered views, they should use the file/folder patterns to setup filtering.

The latter is probably what I'll extend/make easier in the future.
