Initial CMake configuration is practically useless, nothing works. It's practically impossible to apply some set of the initial configuration options, options aren't remembered, it starts configuring immediately after you open a new kit (no chance to set up some initial options), ... now I spent ~1 hour trying to apply Initial configuration options and I was not successful.

The only way to set up a CMake project is to pray that the initial. config succeeds and then you can change the normal cmake config. options and re-configure.

I'm pretty sure that it worked in the previous qtc versions, may be not perfectly but I was able to apply initial config. options.

Now I tried qtc 13.0.1 on another VM and it works there, I didn't test it deeply.
