The problem with source tab not refreshing is fixed.

As regards updating the project source list, part of the problem is
that when adding a new script, you may also need to take into account
its position in the list. Usually I have two or three scripts at the
beginning that must be loaded in a given order, and the rest in
alphabetical order.

What is probably needed is a dialog with two file lists like the
library tab in the J6 project manager. This would have files not in
project source, and files in project source, with left/right arrows to
move files between the lists, and up/down arrows to rearrange the
order of the source files. I won't be able to look at this right now.
