If you select Save to project instead of just Save, the file will be added to 
the project's files and will show up in the source tab of the project viewer.

They work a little bit different. The project viewer is subdivided into 
source, forms, ... parts. Each one has an Add entry for adding files of the 
specific kind. The Add from the project menu will give a choice of what kinds 
of files to add.
