Cursor first use - composer prompt disappears & trash folders created

I want to test cursor so I register and download cursor.

  1. VSCode is not installed on my system. I install cursor.

  2. I select the composer tab and specify an application that I want it to create.

  3. I notice that despite that I haven’t told it where to create stuff, it has selected an existing folder that it should not select, created a subfolder in it and in the subfolder it has created one of the files from the project that it is suggesting. This has to be a bug. It should not modify the filesystem, if it isn’t told where to store source code. It should not modify the file system at all, before I’ve accepted the solution it suggests. And if it stores files for a project, it should not store only 1 of them.

  4. I can see that it describes that I should create a folder for the project, which is weird, since it already chose one. I agree though, that I should be the one creating the folder, and directing it to it.

  5. I create a new folder and select it using the cursor IDE, and this results in my composer now being empty, and my prompt being lost. A prompt that took a long time to write. It is unacceptable that cursor discards my prompts, and on top of that, it’s in the same session, I did not even restart the ide.

So, my first experience with cursor make me extremely annoyed. I do not understand how you can create an AI >>>client application<<< that throws away my prompts, and leaves less than half a project on my hard disk, in a folder it wasn’t told the name of, creating a subfolder with a name I didn’t tell it or accept.

a) cursor must not modify the file system unless explicitely told to do so.
b) cursor must not throw away my composer prompt, regardless of what I do with the ide.
