The Inspector has limited space so it may be difficult to display more than
a few items in it, but the Project Browser exhibits the behavior you're
looking for.


At which point . . .

. . . we might like to consider whether Application Browser, Project
Browser and Inspector
isn't overdoing things a bit, and it might be time to consider rolling 2 or
3 of them into one.

A while ago somebody round these parts did suggest that maybe the Project
Browser wasn't the heir-apparent to replace the
Application Browser.

Personally, I'd far rather keep the Application Browser as it is and roll
the Inspector and the Project Browser up into some sort
of Super Inspector.

Or, just possibly put some of the Proj. Browser's capabilities over in the
App. Browser, and the rest in the Inspector, and then
remove the Proj. Browser.

However; all I am trying to do here is stimulate a bit of debate now we
have had the Proj. Browser for a while.
