Problems with creating package and creating new files

[ShibaProgrammer]

Hello
I am a ros2 beginner and have some problems
I download ros_qtc_plugin zip file from https://github.com/ros-industrial/ros_qtc_plugin/releases, and install ros_qtc_plugin 13.1 in qt creator 13.0.0. I have tried ros_qtc_plugin 13.0 but unlucky...

I have 2 problems

1. When I have created a workspace and plan to create a package in the src directory, I right-click on the src folder and select Add New. There should be many creation options like this
   
   ,but it seems that I only have the option to create a package.
   

2. I followed the steps in this tutorial to create a package, but I couldn’t press next in the window to create a ROS package using the same operation.
   

Below is my current environment:
OS: Ubuntu 22.04
Qt Version: 6.6.0
Qt Creator: 13.0.0

Please tell me how to solve these problems, thank you!

I personally have never used those widgets to create packages or files in a workspace. But AFAIK, those templates only exist or ROS 1 packages. You cannot use them for ROS 2 packages. Do they work in a ROS 1 workspace as expected?

Thank you for your reply and suggestions. Due to the design and architecture of the project, we should not consider ROS1. So this tool doesn’t yet support ROS2?

The Qt Creator plugin supports colcon, i.e. works with ROS 2 workspaces. However, it does not contain templates for ROS 2 nodes. See also #453.
