can't create (initialize) new projects

[PJVervoorn]

I get the error below when I try to create a new project. It looks like there are is no default_config. I have tried it on my current PIO instance and on a new (blank) one. And, tried for a few different boards. Am I missing something obvious, can I help you getting this to work?

Great, that solved it. Now new projects are succesfully created. New issue coming up :)
