Definitely agree with the confirmation.

I find myself deleting all referenced files and re-adding them to the  
project drawer regularly.

Why?

Because the project drawer doesn't update itself. I often start with  
a template, then 'save as'. When I do this, the file that I started  
with in the project gets replaced by the file I saved as. So, I then  
add the old file back to the project drawer.

I also often work with other people. I copy their files into my  
project folder, but the newly added files don't appear once switch  
back to the project.

Consequently, during the course of a whole site, it's (for me)  
quicker to simply delete all the references and start again each time  
I save a file.

Maybe I'm not doing things the right way...
