Created attachment 146788 [details] test project Here is a test project in the attachment. It is based on Makefile and is built on Solaris x86 with GNU. It contains a "build" directory. I tried to create a project within its root, i.e. in gizmo_make_proj_new_from_bin. IDE denied rproject creation saying that "build" or "dist" subfolder exists. But it does not matter for a project from binary!
