    Description

      Opening an existing project in Qt Creator presents the user with a "Project setup"
      dialog that is too hard to understand. It lists a number of "targets" that can be
      selected, many of which looks similar and without any help as to which is the right
      one to select. Each option has a target "status" of "New" or "Import" but no
      information suggesting what this means. There's also a "Import Existing Shadow
      Build..." button with no explanation of the term "shadow build".

      This dialog needs to be made much more user-friendly.
