<p dir="auto">IMO opening file chooser automatically gives the false impression that a base directory is strictly necessary (it isn't). Also, it immediately hides the actual project creation dialog which seems awkward.</p>
<p dir="auto">So I would rather like to see a button to open the file chooser next to base diectory text entry (which I agree should be moved to the top). Then, one can leave that empty (or enter a non-existant path) and chose project file, or one uses the file chooser to select a base directory, in which case the other 2 fields are filed automatically.</p>
<p dir="auto">I don't necessarily agree with turning on "Store project file inside the project base directory". I don't feel very strong about it but it seems out of place for this PR and should be discussed separately. I don't see that it's a required for improving the project creation dialog itself.</p>
<p dir="auto">The same goes for automatically opening the project configuration. It could just as well turn out to be annoying so let's discuss that separately.</p>
