Issue: Create New Content Button is greyed-out

[dylan-k]

Describe the bug
The "Create New Content" button is greyed-out. I'm not sure why.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Go to edit a post
2. Click on the Front Matter button to show the side panel
3. Under actions, the Create new content button is greyed-out

Expected behavior
I image the "create new content" would create an empty post to quickly start writing it.

Screenshots

Desktop (please complete the following information):

• OS: Windows 11
• Latest versions of vscode and Front Matter

Additional context
I've just set up an existing Hugo project to use Front Matter, and most things are working smoothly, but I can't use the "Create New Content" button. I completed the initial setup steps. I have two folders configured in frontMatter.content.pageFolders. In the frontMatter.taxonomy.contentType setting, I've indicated what template to use in my archetypes folder.

@dylan-k thanks for opening an issue around this. I see that you haven't initialized the project yet. This will create the necessary files and folders Front Matter requires. Once completed, this button should become available to you, and the initialize project button will disappear.

You can also initialize your project by opening the dashboard.

Found out that this button still has some old logic attached to it, fix will get implemented.

I've already been using the dashboard and it works for the most part, but the initialize button doesn't seem to do anything. Perhaps that's what the fix will address? The docs say that initialize will create a template but I don't see one in the directory.

The fix should indeed fix this, v8.1.1 is now building and gets released in a couple of minutes. That button was still coupled somehow to the old template functionality.

Updated to the latest version, and it works now. Thank you :)
