Hmm...I just installed a snapshot from ftp://ftp.trolltech.no/qtcreator/snapshots/ 
  yesterday (the Mac .dmg with setup binary inside) and I don't see  
the behavior (Built on Nov 24 2008 at 01:09:18, Using revision  
51601da17f5cfe2f521a2987f17e0d3e49b8a009).  My left pane is a flat  
list, despite the obvious include(...) structure inherent in the .pro  
file, as shown in this screenshot.  (In fact, the .pro file shown just  
shows one step in the hierarchy; files like lob.pri include yet  
others, such as openmath.pri, etc.)

And yes, QuickOpen is fast if you remember the filename.  But the the  
list is useful to jog our memories. :)  (And to remember what files  
are in the project in the first place!  I jump among projects-- 
especially since each unit test is, for me, a separate .pro file--and  
so don't always remember exactly what's in each project, let alone  
what I called it.)

Thanks!
