Text files "lost" in Project view, but can be retrieved through links about dm HOT 2 OPEN

UPDATE: OK, is this intended behavior? Because I see now that the only files that appear in the project listing are the ones I create within the project listing. The others are inconsistently saved, but can be recalled via links created to them. Please let me know what is supposed to be happening here. :-)

UPDATE: So even if this is intended behavior, the language is confusing. When one goes to delete the resource from the Project dialog, a popup tells the user that "This resource and all associated annotations will be removed from projects. All data will be lost."

that sounds pretty dire, but in fact it does not happen. The resource is removed from the Project listing, but it remains in the database. It can still be called up by following a linked annotation to that resource from another resource.

Note that this condition does NOT trigger whatever state is required to cause the "garbage collection" feature to attend to it.
