I use \include and \includeonly very often when I work on a large project and forward and inverse search work extremely well in the current version, so I probably would not need a "project" window. However, in keeping with the spirit of Texshop to make things easier for newcomers to tex and latex, the ability to start a "book" project, with chapter and section files, exercise files, solutions files, and to organize them in an "XCode" groups and files type environment would be a very good thing, particularly for new comes who don't know much about "including" files.

Select a file name inside an \include, \usepackage, \documentclass, etc., command, execute the Macro and the corresponding file will be opened (as long as it is on a path understood by kpsewhich or you've highlighted the path). I have no problem executing this macro some other people have reported problems so please let me know how it goes.

You can them ove it around in the menu shown in the Macros Editor, change the keyboard shortcut, etc.
