Olesya Smirnova - 29 Jun 05 22:10 Idea offers you different locations in that case and you can choose the required one

Stephen Friedrich - 30 Jun 05 01:16 You misunderstood the issue. It is exactly the last step in the dialog that is very confusing. In this example it says you will check out "Aurora\bcel\src\java\org\apache\bcel" to "C:\temp\Aurora\bcel\src\java\org\apache\bcel". In CVS command line if you do "cd C:\temp\Aurora\bcel\src\java\org\apache\bcel" (checkout location), then "cvs co Aurora/bcel/src/java/org/apache/bcel" (checkout Aurora/bcel/src/java/org/apache/bcel) this results in "C:\temp\Aurora\bcel\src\java\org\apache\bcel\Aurora\bcel\src\java\org\apache\bcel". which is clearly not what you want. So I would choose "C:\temp" in that last dialog page. However using Idea this would put all files and folder in bcel directly in "C:\temp". And its not only me that fell for this trap. At least two of our team are just as stupid. Which either speaks unfavourably of our team or of the idea dialog. Naturally I hope for the latter So the last page should have a different title than "Check Out Aurora\bcel\src\java\org\apache\bcel to:" Maybe better Put Aurora\bcel\src\java\org\apache\bcel\<files> to: C:\temp\<files> C:\temp\bcel\<files> C:\temp\Aurora\bcel\src\java\org\apache\bcel\<files> It is not that confusing if you selected multiple CVS modules. In that case the last page correctly shows the folder structure without any more options.

Olesya Smirnova - 30 Jun 05 13:33 Well, I just don't know how to clarity check out behaviour in that case case Could you help me? What message/confirmation can help you? (BTW if you're selectong a/b/c/d in order to check out a.b.c.d module idea's asking you is it actually what you want)

Stephen Friedrich - 30 Jun 05 15:12 How about this? I think it's much clearer. Also it leaves plenty of room to insert additional options, e.g. the "Use version" panel (like in CVS update dialog)
