One additional comment: The menu item in question is slightly deceptive to me (which is probably why I missed it).

The menu item says:

	'Add to Project: $FileName$'

where $FileName$ is the filename. However, I took the text of this to mean "Add the file to a new project named '$FileName$'". Admittedly, I am sometimes a bit slow, but there are bound to be others who are just as slow.

The thing that got me was that the menu item takes the trouble to name the particular file that will be added in a menu where you can't select multiple files and which already implies that the filename in question is what you are acting on. This reminds me of the windows zip shortcuts that say things like 'add to zip' and 'add to new zip called $something_similar_to_the_filename$' I therefore expected a similar behavior.
