I too created a altenitive Project Manager, called Project Central. I shelved the idea a couple of years back do to the lack of interest from others, or maybe I was asking too much for it. It incorperated all of the features spoken in this thread.

For anyone is interested you can download the complete source code at

I too could not get the Drag and Drop feature, or the keyboard navigation to work correctly.

>>That's an excelent idea... I mean the ability to click through the different objects to the contained objects, set properties, access code snippets... add in the ability to filter these objects and/or search like code references... then put in the ability to see multiple projects at a time (similar to a solution in .NET), you might really have something there. So, when are you going to build it? <g>
