So obviously there are people who edit a bunch of files without ever 
touching the project drawer. I'm still in the process of getting used to 
Apple-T, so if I work on a project, I've likely clicked onto the active 
file in order to open or focus it. That way I didn't stumble upon the 
behaviour you describe.

After the great current version, I'm really looking forward to 2.0, 
thanks for elaborating on details of how it's going to work internally. :)

Is there any way of signing up for beta testing it?
