Help with creating a new file or project ( template doesnt show up )

<< < (2/2)

MWRMWR:
Same here - this seems to be an unnecessary surprise.

Became a new user last week and started with my Mac ... but in a hurry and no gcc.
No worries, so run on Mac in Ubuntu VM - very happy, creating projects and build/run.

Tonight tried to get going on W7 ...and fell into the same problem described here.
Did my first install and just ticked a bunch of boxes to add-in "interesting" extensions, add-ins or whatever - and as far as I knew what I was doing or recall it,  I DID NOT DE-SELECT anything and ended up wth the very first thing I wanted to do (create a project) unavailable !

I realise that the folks at Ubuntu probably pre-installed this with the Create new project (templates) option enabled already for me.

So, as with the previous posting - WHY would one ever want to NOT have a default which enables project creation ?
If one really didn't want it (space/complexity overheads maybe ?) then, sooner or later, one would encounter the default enable and turn it off.
In time, maybe I'll figure out the rationale for this since (from the previous postings in this thread) it appears to have been a deliberate implementation change.
