Using Qt Creator 7.0.0 Windows x64
When right clicking the project name in the projects view the context menu has "Add new" "Add existing project" "Add Library" etc. all greyed out.
Is there anything I need to do to enable them?
Is there a fix/workaround?

What I would like to do is add a sub-project to my project.
Both the main project and the sub-project use CMake.
The sub-project is an existing project that has classes I would like to use in my main project (i.e. include the headers I need in the main project).
The sub-project's classes are useful, so I have them in a separate project that I would reuse in many other project. -

From my experimentation, if you make a project with qmake build, those items work. If you have a cmake build, they are all greyed out. It seems that the IDE doesn't have those items integrated in yet. I wonder if there is a bug for this - there should be. I have to refactor into cmake projects. Luckily I caught this early before I had too much invested in my cmake file. I guess the expectation is for you to edit the cmakelists.txt directly???? That seems obtuse - the whole point of an IDE is to manage that for us.
