Description
An idea: the way how we display the changes in the project status dialog may not be most intuitive for users - we show added/modified/removed files and optionally some extra details about changes (in case of gpkg files). How about we would by default refer to map layers (with their names+icons as in QGIS layer tree) rather than the underlying files, and only other file types (like pictures) would be treated on a file-based way like now?
Possibly there could be switch between these two views...

Research direction
Start by locating the project status dialog and the QGIS layer tree integration used to display layer names and icons. Determine how file-based changes and GeoPackage details are currently represented, then define whether the default layer view and an optional file view are both required; done means the dialog clearly handles layers and non-layer files.
