Description Petr Jiricka 2013-07-26 11:35:29 UTC

1. Create a HTML5 application
2. On the project root node, choose New File and select the Sass template

=> On the Name and Location panel, the IDE offers project root as the default location. At a minimum, it should default to site root (public_html). Next, there is the scss -> css mapping table, which by default contains mapping "/scss -> /css". This suggests that scss files should be placed under the scss directory. So it would make sense to use public_html/scss as the default location.

For LESS files the situation is analogous.

Not sure if it is doable, I will look at it.

Thanks.

Comment 2 Tomas Mysik 2013-07-30 10:06:24 UTC

Not nice solution but should work. Please verify, thanks.

Comment 5 Petr Jiricka 2013-08-01 09:19:23 UTC

One question Tomas, why is the scss subfolder suggested only if it exists? Can we not preselect it even if it does not exist? That would IMO be the correct solution.

Unfortunately not, the API uses FileObjects, not Files.

Comment 7 Petr Jiricka 2013-08-01 09:54:01 UTC

Ok I see - well that's not nice. An ugly solution could be to create create the folder, but a better way would be to enhance the API so it accepts a File. Can we please file an issue for that? 

I am reopening as this issue is not fully addressed - I understand that we may not be able to fix this for 7.4, but let's still leave it open, as I feel this should be addressed at some point. Anyway, thanks for the partial fix, Tomas.

This does not work if user click the Cancel button - the folder will stay there...

Since we cannot do anything more (there P4 would be perhaps better here), changing TM to Next.

Thanks.

Comment 9 Petr Jiricka 2013-08-01 10:09:09 UTC

Thanks, I agree with P4.
