Description John Baker 2002-02-27 23:22:48 UTC 
Using kit 020226

To reproduce:

1) Select the Filesystems node in the explorer
2) Click the "New ..." toolbar button

The only way to create one is to mount a new filesystem first
then select it in the Explorer then click the New... toolbar button
even though in the New From Template dialog for a Web Module
a directory for the web module can be created.
Comment 1 John Baker 2002-02-27 23:25:14 UTC 
This is the same for any new application.
Comment 2 _ ttran 2002-02-28 11:53:33 UTC 
Hmm, why do you think this belongs to core?  WebApps folks please
evaluate.  Tell us what behavior do you expect from core
Comment 3 _ ttran 2002-03-06 14:49:26 UTC 
Aha, I now understand what you mean.  Unfortunately it's "as designed".
The "New..." action is meant to be a context-sensitive.  For example
if you select the root Filesystems node in the explorer and then
invoke New you are being presented with a wizard which let you mount
new filesystem.  However if the current selection is a folder then
there is a different version of the wizard which lets you create
subfolder or java class,...

The trouble is that the New web module is global, ie context-less.
I don't know how to redesign it.  In any case this is UI issue. 
Please talk to HIE/UI to create a better UI solution and file a RFE
against core.

I close this as INVALID because it's not a bug per se.

Comment 7 Jan Chalupa 2004-11-20 08:09:08 UTC 
I think this issue has been obsoleted by the new Project system and
should be resolved as WONTFIX. There are no plans to implement this
enhancement in the 3.x codeline.
Comment 8 Marian Mirilovic 2005-12-20 16:03:03 UTC 
This issue was solved long time ago. Because nobody has reopened it neither
added comments, we are verifying/closing it now. 
If you are still able to reproduce the problem, please reopen. 

Thanks in advance.
