Description Alexander Simon 2011-11-18 14:41:31 UTC 
New project with existing sources works has a two modes:
- simple
- custom
Simple mode works very well for open sources project with auto-make or auto-conf (i.e. project has configure script).
But real close-source projects do not have a configure script.
To create IDE project for this kind of source IDE suggests complicated custom mode of the wizard.

So I suggest to have additional a "folder" mode of the wizard that can be applied for sources that already built with debug information.
Wizard in "folder" mode:
- have one step (probably it is third radio button)
- wizard does not configure and built project
- wizard creates project with using debug information in project binaries
