unfortunately, it's not fully clear to me what your problem is, however, i guess you meant the "Repository Folder" field
in the copy/switch dialogs, am i right?
the way, the folder gets preselected, is that it always takes the last used location. If there were recently used more
locations, they all are available from the fields combo list. It's hard or even impossible to find out from the
selections context what should be the destination/source for the copy/switch operation and I'm afraid there is nothing
we could do about it.
could you please elaborate in case this isn't your problem?
what exactly is your project setup?
what exactly is the lib folder? is it under your project root or is located somewhere else on your disk?
in what field of the copy dialog is the lib folder selected? in the "local folder" field or the repository location, ...?
anythig else?
thanks

Screenshot where you can see that project Controls is selected in the explorer but Switch Libraries is shown in the dialog
No I do not mean the Repository Folder. This could be handled very easily just by selecting the right project. The attached pic shows it: In the project explorer Controls is selected. The user right-clicked on the project and chose Subversion/Switch To. Then the dialog pops up and - surprisingly - titles "Switch Libraries". If you oversee it the effect is that all the libs stored in Libraries get deleted and your Controls project is checked out into that folder!! The nblibraries.properties file is set relative to the project. All projects are stored under the usual Netbeans Projects folder. The Libraries folder is also in there. To make it clear the structure is Netbeans Projects/Controls Netbeans Projects/Libraries Of course Libraries is not a project itself but just a folder where all libs are placed. ok then, i could reproduce with 6.5 on macos: 1.) created a project - .../NetBeansProjects/JavaApplication1 2.) set "Use dedicated Folder..." to "../libraries" -> .../NetBeansProjects/libraries 3.) added a lib from libraries to JavaApp1 4.) imported the project into a svn repo 5.) imported the libs forlder into a svn repo 6.) copied the project 7.) switching between the copy and trunk seemed to work fine 8.) nb restard 9.) invoked the switch dialog and libraries was the context given for switch! caused by the fact that the project node returns two folders - the project folder and libraries. Switch then takes the first of them, which sometimes happens to be libraries. suggested workarround would be to mount the netbeans projects folder in the favorites view and to switch and copy from there. The described behaviour is related only to the projects view. lowering to p2 - no data loss, the lib can be switched back, simple workaround exist however, we should fix asap - in the patch 1 - if all agree. unfortunately, it looks like we won't be to provide the fix already for 65 patch1 ... - need a way how to get the info from projects which file is the library and which a project root. - the problem probably also applies for other actions - need to be evaluated bad news that this issue will not be in patch 1... at least the problem occurs for the "copy to" and "switch to" commands. Although you can use the "favourite" folder for these actions one has to recognize this... so it is currently "dangerous" to use these commands from the project pane - resulting in a real mess in your workspace folder... under this impression I do not think that P2 is appropriate. some project nodes may return more then one folder, we let the user decide which one he wants to use for the action changeset : 110043:7d65968f7dc2 author : Tomas Stupka <tstupka@netbeans.org> date : Tue Dec 02 15:21:53 CET 2008 summary : #151220 - Subversion CopyTo/Switch selects Library folder Integrated into 'main-golden', will be available in build *200812050201* on http://bits.netbeans.org/dev/nightly/ (upload may still be in progress) Changeset: http://hg.netbeans.org/main/rev/7d65968f7dc2 User: Tomas Stupka <tstupka@netbeans.org> Log: #151220 - Subversion CopyTo/Switch selects Library folder great news. i will give it a try. thanks for your work.
