I like to be strictly pedantic and say "It's not a drawer at all." (:

Yes; I'm not sold on it for TM but I've never tried to visualize it,  
or mock it up, or anything like that.

The main difference here is likely to be that I don't run into long  
filenames at all, pretty much. Which means that the current drawer is  
more than sufficient.

Now this is a key point: what I do NOT want to happen is to have  
resizing the project "pane" also resize my text view. Which is what  
the Mail/iTunes/etc system will do. Using something like RBSplitView  
or whatever you can actually have it resize the window when you drag  
the handle, but in my (and possibly _only_ my) opinion that's ugly  
and un-Mac-like.

But whatever Allan does, I'll get used to, I'm sure-- like I said, I  
don't think I've ever resized it.
