[cdt-dev] Convert To a C or C++ Project

["Schaefer, Doug" <dschaefer@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Could someone explain to me why the workflow to convert a project between C and C++ takes the user through the New Project wizard?  Could the same thing be accomplished by through the Project property page or through an action in the Navigator (you should be able to add/remove natures from anywhere)?

 

Sorry, but the workflow just seems a little bit odd, especially since you start with the New Project wizard and then end up not making a new project.

 

We are thinking that the best way to activating the new build system is to create a new project wizard as a peer to the "Standard Make Project" wizard and the "Convert..." wizard just doesn't seem to fit in to me.

 

Opinions?
