3.5 M20080911-1700

1. File->Export->Team->Project Set
2. Select many projects
3. Keep destination as "File" (vs. Workspace)

As soon as you type anything, you get "You have specified a folder" error in the banner.
Picking "Browse" and picking a directory, giving a file name, you still get this banner error.
What is odd is that Finish is enabled yet the banner claims there is an error.  So good news is that you can actually do the export.  But it's easy to be confused and assume either you can't (because of error in banner) or that there is a system. Thus marking as major.

Hi Kevin, I would not say that this is "major loss of function". I've checked how it works in N20081127-2000 and it seems to work now.

You see "You have specified a folder" only if you really does it.

I cannot reproduce the bug with steps provided by Kevin. However it is possible to provide an invalid file name (for example "?" on Windows) and the error message is not shown.

Since I was unable to get an error message in a case a valid file is provided
I'd lower the severity.

Kevin, I'm changing the summary and lowering the severity. Pawel volunteered to fix it.

Strange. I got it even if the destination was a correct path (ie. I could never make the message go away, even using the Browse button, which I did).  Yet in trying it now, that's not true.  Either I was imagining things before or there's some subtlety to the steps which I'm not reproducing.

Either way I'm ok lowering the severity.  I will see if I can reproduce the "always error" case I saw.

Got it!

1. File->Export->Team->Project Set
2. Select many projects
3. Keep destination as "File" (vs. Workspace)
4. In the File field type C:\
Observe: you will get the error about it being a folder
5. Now keep typing to change it to something valid, like C:\temp\foo.psf
Observe: it remains in the error state.  Even if you select a file via the Browse button.

We may want to raise priority since it essentially fails if you type instead of Browse.

c:\temp\foo.psf  that is.

It's a duplicate of already fixed bug. That's why I wasn't able to reproduce it with the latest build.
