[Github-comments] [geany/geany] Improve user experience when creating new projects (PR #3018)

[Jiří Techet]

> Can I suggest instead of serial popups, have a single popup with base path at the top with focus on it and the other entries insensitive. When the base path is entered fill the other entries as described and set sensitive for users to twiddle as needed.

That would be possible but it actually requires an extra click from the user to open the directory dialog anyway plus there has to be some initial value in the base path entry like `~/projects` which may not exist and may confuse users.

Basically, the way I see the project creation process is: project creation = opening the directory with the project. This is the first step this pull request does, the second dialog is just the possibility of further customization but in most cases can just be confirmed.
