Description Mark Macdonald

Assume you have a project named MyProject in your workspace containing a subfolder MyFolder.

1. Create a new site; go to the edit-site page
2. Use the Add > Choose Folder button to choose MyProject > MyFolder.
The folder path appears as "MyFolder", rather than /MyProject/MyFolder, which is what we used to show before bug 343264 was fixed.
3. Save the site. This causes the folder path to change to something like:
 /X/MyProject/MyFolder

Which is creepy. It remains in that form the next time you load the edit-site page.

In light of the new URL format for projects, I'm not even sure it makes sense to rewrite the paths as this page has done in the past -- maybe we should stick with the same format that's shown in the browser's address bar when you're viewing the raw file -- in other words, decode URLencoded characters like %20 into their displayable counterparts, but do nothing else.

In any case the editor should be consistent in what it displays here.
