New C project creation issue (all previos Eclipse versions)

[vladi552]

It's look like trip for new Eclipse users who want to create a new C/C++ project. Look at the pic (included) and follow the steps. I think the initial view of ProjectType window is incorrect (locked) and user cannot select appropriate project template.
To unlock it we need to tick/untick the "show proj type..." option.
Is it possible to fix this behavior? This window need to be always unlocked to quck select the project type by the user.

@vladi552 I am not sure I am following the issue here.

I have a long standing issue with how this GUI works in that you need to choose the project type (left side) before you can choose your toolchain (right side). Is this the problem you are referring to, or is there some other issue I am not understanding. (I tried it on Linux with 2024-12, I am going to grab a Windows machine in case something is different there)

Yes, the problem can be here if users add a new proj types and it's templates to Eclipse. Under certain circumstances, this new proj type templates can be unviewable in the 'locked' proj type window because the folder is locked. The users must know about the trick with the tick/untick option, otherwise they cannot to create this project.
When I start with Eclipse for Artery AT32F403A family, I play a long time to find Artery templates. Sorry, I don't remember all the details now...
However, this low priority issue...
