duh! of course! *smacks forehead* I'm beginning to understand what  
all this metadata will bring us ;-)

cool!

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 ;)

thanks!
