Now I can set 'Terminal Type' in 'Project Properties' window only (in 'Running' subcategory). I think user should has chance to change 'Terminal Type' for all projects by default in Options window in 'C/C++ Pack settings' tab.
I've heard this request recently too. For simple programs running Output Window is preferable to external terminal. But every created project default to running in external terminal.
