Well, you are right. The wizard asks for the Type of project (maybe the 
rest varies according to this choice?), then asks for the directory 
UNDER WHICH the project shall be stored - but it doesn't tell you that, 
you have to guess. Maybe this should be made somewhat clearer.

Then I'm asked for a "name" and a "title". But what are these good for? 
Is name the name of the project directory, and title a free string 
stored within the project file (and what is it used for)? Or vice-versa? 
Or something else? Who knows... :-) Again, this could be made clearer, 
either by more self-explanatory titles for the input boxes or by some 
tooltip or a description at the side or whatever.

Errr - I didn't mean that small wizard popping up when you start Gambas. 
I mean the open dialog. Yes, it actually doesn't ask for a file, but it 
does provide a list of the files contained in the directories you click 
on, and you can click on the files, and then the project loads. So a 
beginner might be confused what to do or if it matters where the 
double-click went. Wouldn't it be enough to show the directories only? 
Or even better: the project titles as a default, and optionally the 
directory structure (for the geeks)?

For my own part, I know where to click on, but I was thinking of 
beginners with Gambas and remembered how I was confused here when I 
started with it.


Hope this makes it clearer...
