Description Ivan Shumkov CLA 2006-09-13 05:09:19 EDT 
My be add wizard for creating php files?
1. Flat php file
2. Class php file
...

In current mechanizm field with file name must be focused first. See JDT new file wizards.

This seems to be more of a usability issue regarding the "new PHP file" wizard, and is present in 0.2.4 and 0.2.5 as well. I also find it a bit of a nuisance that the "file name" field is not given focus by default.

While I'm not sure how to propose a patch to this, here's my solution:
in PHPFileCreationWizardPage.java, in the org.eclipse.php.ui.wizards package, the setInitialFileName method should have two lines added: 

	protected void setInitialFileName(final String fileName) {
		fileText.setText(fileName); // this line already exists
		fileText.setSelection(0, fileText.getText().indexOf(".")); // add
		fileText.forceFocus(); // add
	}

This will highlight the initial file name before the .php extension, allowing a user to type in "index" or whatever file name they'd like, right after launching the wizard.

Of course, this fix won't work correctly if the default filename (as set by the wizard) ever contains more than one period, but it's a start.

I agree about the focus issue.  I think I'll report it as a separate bug since it seems more like broken behavior than a missing feature.
