Description Vladimir Kvashin 2013-10-15 15:16:28 UTC 
Here is the story. I have a project based on a custom makefile. 
It has several target binaries (well, originally there was the only one, but then I added some tests)

When I double-clicked one of these binaries (I wanted to run a test),
"Run" dialog appeared with fields:
- Executable
- Working dir
- Arguments
- Envorinments
(quite reasonable fields for "Run" dialog!)
- Some more fields

I wasn't attentive enough to read all fields, filled in the above ones and pressed ENTER

(Do *you* always read every word in every dialog? I can't believe you do!)

How surprised I was when I saw that now I have two projects with the same name in Projects pane!

That's absolutely inappropriate IDE behavior.
"Run" must run, not create a project.

Expected behavior:
- Run just runs the binary and *never* creates a project.

Please note that there is an item "Create a Project..." on a binary.
Comment 1 Vladimir Kvashin 2013-10-15 15:51:16 UTC 
What drives me crazy is the fact that the binary I tried to launch alreary belongs to the open project. And after IDE creates a new project, it adds this binary to the "Important files"folder. And if I select it in the "Important files", and double-click and press enter - it creates one more new project and adds the binary to its "Important files", and so on.

But whoever will try fixing this:
please don't fix this particular effects.

The proper fix should be:
"Run" action never creates a new project. It just runs.
