Description Mark Macdonald CLA 2011-10-04 17:28:46 EDT 
The most common case (where a workspace folder is being mapped to some URL on a site) should be easier.

Instead of the leftmost control being an input field, it should be a drop-down menu or some control that immediately brings up the directory chooser dialog so you can find the folder you want. The rare case where you want to enter a remote URL instead does not need to be exposed as visibly.

Labels should be changed:
- use "Folder" not "Path"
- use "URL" not "Mount at"


The editor should also know/guess the URL the site is going to be launched at (eg. foo.orionhub.org), and prefix the server URLs with it. So you can easily tell that URL "/bar" will ultimately work out to "http://foo.orionhub.org:8080/bar".

Making this bug more specific: just the label change. 

Opened bug 369727 for the issue of using a full URL to display the right-hand column.
