Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Currently project creation is best achieved via the Python API, using something like:

show = opencue.api.createShow("my_new_project_name")
farm_aloc = opencue.api.getAllocation('local.farm')
ws_aloc = opencue.api.getAllocation('local.workstation')
show.createSubscription(farm_aloc, 500, 600)
show.createSubscription(ws_aloc, 500, 700)

Describe the solution you'd like
CueGUI should support creating a new project easily via GUI. This could be a new plugin or new menu item, but most likely we should add functionality to an existing plugin which already provides project-management features.

There is already a show plugin which lists all shows and a few stats about them.
This seems like a logical place to add an Add Show button perhaps?

shows_widget_mockup01

Show subscriptions can already be created via the right click menu on shows in this widget. Therefore do you think a Create Show dialog should also offer setting up the subscriptions too? Or should that be left to the already available actions?

Creating a show in the DB is only really half the job, as in order to get frames running it needs subscriptions, which makes me think a Create Show dialog should hand hold the user into fully setting up a show.

Add Show via the UI is an onboarding tool for users to opencue, Once they get comfortable with its mechanics they will inevitably opt to integrate it with their production management tools via the API as shown above.

I agree it should explain that shows and subscriptions are required to get frames moving.

I would be keen to take this one on if that's ok?
