Empty Dart SDK path is not updated when creating new project is created

[igorwojda]

Thanks for the feedback! If your issue is related to the Flutter framework itself,
please open an issue at
github.com/flutter/flutter.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Create new project (on fresh Inteli Idea with Flutter plugin installed)
2. delete project
3. Checkout project from github

Please tell us what you were doing and what went wrong
Error is displayed that Dart SDK is missing and indeed Preferences->languages&Frameworks->Flutter->Flutter SDK Path is empty.

I think when any flutter project is created for the first time and "Flutter SDK Path" in preferences is empty it should be automatically populated for the value used for new project

Sounds like a good idea to me. Thanks for the feedback @igorwojda!

I'm a bit lost.
I see both Flutter SDK and Dart SDK set after creating a new Flutter project.

The trick is that the IDE needs to be in a state where no SDK has been set before (e.g., not cached) and needs to be set for the first time during project creation.
