When creating a new web project with existing sources, the wizard has the following fields: "Use Dedicated Folder for Storing Libraries" in step 4 (Name and Location) "Libraries Folder" in step 4 (existing Sources and Libraries) This appears as if the wizard is asking for the same information twice, and may confuse the user. The meaning of the two fields should be better explained. Additionally, the name of step 4 is also slightly misleading, as it refers to "libraries", which are already mentioned in step 2.
Patrick (or Ken?) could you come up with some better wording. At this state this is after-6.1 issue. Thanks, -D.
Shouldn't the Libraries Folder field in page 4 of the wizard be populated with the Libraries Folder specified in page 2? Or does "libraries" really have a different meaning here?
It has different meaning.
Sorry for the delay on responding here. I'd be inclined to resolve this as WONTFIX. Yes, it is awkward that "Libraries Folder" appears twice in the wizard. But I think that label is accurate for each context and that the context is pretty clear in both cases. In page 2, you specify where the libraries folder will be (and you get this choice only after checking "Use Dedicated...". In page 4, you specify the location of libraries that the imported app already depends on, just as you do for the source roots, etc. Plus I haven't heard anybody complain about this. Petr, David, Ken, what do you think?
Closing per Patrick's suggestion.
