The way how to simply add the file without moving it is to enter the 
directory of the file as the target, i.e. your file is 
"/projectdir/subdir/file.py" in the target entry enter 
"/projectdir/subdir". eric3 recognises this and adds the file without 
copying it. Internally the subdirectory is registered as well. Alpha3 of 
eric3 will have an additional action to search for new files while the 
project is open. That is the same function that is performed when a 
project is opened. You have to enable the automatism on the Project tab 
of the preferences dialog.

At the moment there is no "Add directory to project" function. I will put 
this on the TODO list because I don't intend to add more functionality 
for 3.0.0. At the moment I would like to concentrate on bug fixes to 
reach the final release fairly soon.
