Description John Arthorne CLA 2005-06-01 14:51:54 EDT
Build: 3.1 RC1

1) Open a new workspace
2) Create a simple project called "Project" with this structure:

 Project
   Folder
     File

3) Right-click the project, and export as archive (zip) file. Leave all wizard
settings as default.
4) Delete the project from the workspace
5) File > Import > Existing project into workspace
6) Select the zip created in step 3)
7) Finish

-> You now have a project in the workspace with this structure:

 Project
   Project
     Folder
       File

I.e., it has appended an extra "Project" prefix to all the paths.  The user
expectaction is likely that zip export and zip import are symmetric.  Exporting
as zip and then importing into a different workspace should preserve the project
structure.

Stop padding the bug count with dupes!  You're too close to winning.
