[RWP] Migrating Project

[Patrick Perdue]

The problem with the Sonar bundle format is that it still has to extract 
everything somewhere else when opened. Sure, it's one file as opposed to 
a directory, but that's about the only advantage. Archive utilities are fun.
Reaper is a little nicer about this sort of thing, using the current 
working project directory rather than copying files out to another 
temporary location first, which makes opening large foreign projects 
much faster. Garage Band does something similar with it's .band format, 
which is a folder containing all the metadata and media. OS X handles 
.band the same way as .app, a package with a default file that is run 
when opened from finder. You can still open the .band package through 
Finder's context menu if you want to see all the fun stuff inside, just 
as you can with a .app package. Oh yeah, now I'm being irrelevant.
