Description Ed Willink CLA 2011-09-27 09:53:19 EDT 
In preview mode the target folder may not exist, or may be some application-specific name. If it does not exist because it is "" I get

java.io.IOException: target directory  couldn't be created.

The associated gerrit allows users to remove the existence check, which is the best we can do without modifying signatures in this heavily subclassed file. The exitence check is necessary since it is a user's action to decide to use a preview strategy or a regular one, and even with a preview strategy there might be places that actually need the target folder to exist.
