> +    This method is more suitable for creating new, empty projects from
+    scratch at the default location without having any existing sources.
+
+    To create a new project, fill in the *Name* field. By default this
+    will setup a new project file ``~/projects/name/name.geany``.
+
+    The Base path text field is setup to use ``~/projects/name``. This
+    can safely be set to any existing path -- it will not touch the file
+    structure contained in it.
+
+New from Folder
+    This method is more suitable when there is already some folder
+    containing source files for which you want to create a new project.
+
+    When using this method, Geany first opens a directory selection
+    dialog where the Base path with the folder containing sources is

... dialog to select the folder containing the sources, and the *Base path* field is set to the same value.
