I launch SlickEdit from a directory containing a source tree as follows:
Code: [Select]
vs +new -sc /tmp/defcon5 .
After the quick start wizard the following dialog comes up to create a project in the current directory (which I specified with "." above).  See attachment.  Why is the only C/C++ option listed "Other C/C++"?  Are project types that have wizards specifically filtered out?  Seems like an unnecessary limitation.

At the moment, project types with wizards aren't supported because they add files which messes up this dialog or the wizard depending what happens first.

The same conflict can happen when you do Project > New... and add files there.  In my experience, it works fine as long is you select "Create an empty project" in the wizard instead of adding new files with the wizard.
