Maybe there is a misunderstanding.
Add a unit to the project <> adding forms to the "Auto-create forms"

The project inspector contains all files that belong to the project,
that means they do not belong to a package or FPC or another project.

Yes. Since 0.9.27.
For backward compatibility you can store the lrs files in the same
directory as the lfm file. Then the IDE will update that one.

I can't follow you, why this is a flaw.
I think it is pretty important to control what files the IDE
process and what files it should *not* process.
