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).

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.
