This Bugzilla instance is a read-only archive of historic NetBeans bug reports. To report a bug in NetBeans please follow the project's instructions for reporting issues.
When pressing the "Browse" button for the "Project Location" field of the New Project dialog, the directory currently set in the field is not set as the current one. One consequence is that pressing the "Create New Folder" in the "Select Project Location" sub dialog causes a new directory to be created under e.g. "My Documents" in stead of under the current project location. Say that my default project location is "C:\MyDocs\NetBeansProjects", and that I'm going to create my first JavaFX application. I want all JavaFX applications to reside under C:\MyDocs\NetBeansProjects\JavaFX, so presses "Browse...", and "C:\MyDocs\NetBeansProjects" is highlighted in the presented dialog but still "My Documents" is current dir. Pressing "Browse..." button, or Enter inside the Project Location field should cause that directory to be shown as the current one in the dialog presented, not "My Documents" or whatever.
This old bug may not be relevant anymore. If you can still reproduce it in 8.2 development builds please reopen this issue. Thanks for your cooperation, NetBeans IDE 8.2 Release Boss
