Bug? Swap header/source -> file does not exist yet

[Alturin]

Steps to reproduce:
Create a new C project (not C++).
Create a new header file.
Right click and click "Swap header/source"
When a .c file should be created, instead a .cpp file is made.

This turned out to be a very annoying 'bug' for me to trackdown, because the compiler kept telling me about undefined functions, which I was sure were in the according .c file (which turned out later was a .cpp file!).

Is this an actual bug, or intentional?

Thank you for your time,

Alturin.

Create a new C project (not C++).

Creating a C project doesn't ensure that all the files will be C file. That option is asked to copy the respective sample code during project creation.

Is it possible to add an option somewhere in the "Create new file" dialog?
Cos at the moment I have to "rename file", "remove file from project", "add file to project" in order to fix it to it being a proper C file again.

Ctrl+Shift+N

I mean the dialog you get after you hit "Swap header / source" -> "Error: The file does not exist. Do you want to create it?" -> Yes -> "Do you want this new file to the active project?" -> Yes -> "Select all" -> Ok.
Somewhere in that chain, there might could be an option "Create as CPP file / Create as C file"?

Use File > New > File... and then select C/C++ Source option.
