 Description  « Hide
When I refactor-move a class and de-select "Preserve source folders" Idea pops up the "Choose Destination Directory" dialog.

Often the preselected src directory is very badly choosen. (Sometimes it is just the current source folder, sometimes however it seems to be a random source folder.)

If the target package currently onIy exists in a single source folder, then why the heck can't idea pre-select that very source folder right from the start?

I found the same to be true for creating new test classes. Selecting New->Testcase should preselect the test source of the current module/the module in which the selected Java package lives.
