Yes.
I only meant: The 'New ...' shows a different dialog and both use
DoNewProject to create the project.

Well, we can add it at both places.
A project menu, that contains all project items, like 'open' and 'save',
should have also the 'new' item for consistency.
OTOH many programs put their 'new something' items under file, so maybe many
users are used to search there first.
At the moment they can already create a new project under both menus ('File
-> New ...' and 'Project -> New Project').
In short words: IMHO removing it from the project menu would break
consistency, and adding it to File menu would be redundant.

Sounds great.
