I keep all files in a project open at the same time.  I would like to see a flag added to the configuration.  When this flag is true any time a file is added or deleted from a project it will be automatically opened or closed accordingly.

Many times I add a file to a project and try to edit the file immediately and realize that I forgot to open the project menu, select add files to project, select all files and click on ok and then try to edit the file.

This is not a big addition just something that may help a few people like me.

Thanks

Just want to make sure you know you can add files to the project these ways:

Use the "New" command, check "Add to project"

Alternately you can do this:

Some how edit the existing file (gui_open, "e" command" etc.). Then, right click on the Document tab and select "Add <filename> to project".
