There is an easier way to add one file (or a small number of files) to the 
project - open the Files view, navigate to the file in question, right click and 
select "Insert in project..."

I generally use that when adding an image to the project, even though my 
projects are rarely more than 100 or so files. There are usually so many 'junk' 
files (testing fragments, log files, etc.) in the project area on my dev machine 
that I end up having to uncheck most of the things that "Rescan Project Folder" 
picks up...
