When I start a new project none of the subdirectories are created in IDE 1.19

I have not programmed in the IDE for a while.  But when I created a project, and edited the .ioc file, and told it to save and create the main.c file it did, and opened the main.c file. 

I am able to create a project, and it lets me go to the MX editor (I am in 1.9.0). I enable a couple of UARTS, 
Then I save. And it asks if I want to generate code, I say yes. And there is no code at all. 

There are only two files in the EPS_PDU_STM32L433RCT3 project directory the 
EPS_PDU_STM32L433RCT3.ioc
.project

None of the subdirectories were created, the main.c was not created. 

This used to work. I must have fat fingered something to screw it up. But I do not know what I did. 

I did see a warning on the project name in the Project Explorer

Description Resource Path Location Type
Project 'EPS_PDU_STM32L433RCT3' has no explicit encoding set EPS_PDU_STM32L433RCT3 /EPS_PDU_STM32L433RCT3 No explicit project encoding

I do not know what that means. I do not think I changed anything. 

Is that encoding right for Linux? 
It looks like it inherited UTF-8 from linux. Other is UTF-8 what is wrong? 

Is this causing my issue? 

I am used to seeing Core, Debug, Drivers, .settings directories in the project directory. 
Also no .ld linker file and others. 

But in my project directory I have only the two files mentioned earlier. 

What did I screw up? How do I fix it.

Hello @kmoravec 

Could you check if the firmware is installed? If not, you should go to Help> Manage embedded software packages and install the missing firmware.

Do you really mean v1.9 - that's very old !

Or do you mean v1.19 - which was the last v1.xx before the current v2.0.0

[kmoravec]

Yes I meant 1.19, sorry about that. People here recommended I stay with 1.19 because 2.0.0 because of the MX separation. 

Thanks for the response.
