Agree that it would be better as a separate PR.

This PR changes the project creation workflow.  Here's an approach that would minimize changes to the current workflow:

* Have a default project name, filename, and basepath already filled in.  Something like "New Project", which is preselected so the user can change it if desired.
* For each of project name, filename, and basepath, if it is changed, change the other two options, provided the user has not yet changed the default.
* Extend the *Preferences / General / Startup / Paths / Project files* to accept `.` and `..` to refer to the project base path and the project parent folder.
