Hi, one thing that stops me from making more use of the project view is the problem of losing files when they are renamed or moved outside the textmate environment.
Is there a reason that the project view doesn't store alias's? These allow you to track files seamlessly.
Also, it seems wrong to be able to add a file twice to the project: shouldn't the project detect that the file is already there and just activate it's view tab?
It the purpose is to allow multiple views of the same file, then this might be better achieved by split panes?

The only reason is that nowhere in the Cocoa API are aliases available -- but 1.2 will use aliases.

Initially TextMate was made to deal only with groups of added files (like Xcode, which I modeled it after), and folder references were then added as an afterthought (with the ability to mix live folder references and static groups/files) -- this is why files in the project drawer doesn't always work as expected. This is also something I'll correct for 1.2.
