Severity:	Incorrectly Functioning
Reproducibility:	Every Time
Discoverability:	High
Found in Version:	3.0.1 (Released)
Milestone:	Gumbo I12
Affected OS(s):	Mac - OS 10.5
Steps to Reproduce:	« Hide Steps to reproduce: 1. In the Application tag, set the viewSourceURL property to something other than "srcview/index.html" - "http://path.to/mySites/actualSource/location" for example. 2. Export for Release, making sure that "Enable View Source" is selected. Actual Results: The user-specified value for the viewSourceURL is rewritten to "srcview/index.html" Expected Results: The value is left at what the user specifies. They very easily may want to link to the source code elsewhere on the server. Workaround (if any): None that I've found. Show » Steps to reproduce: 1.

This isn't that simple...how can we tell the difference between a user specified view source URL and a previous Export Release operation? They may have done Export Release, then re-exported and selected a different folder for view source, in which case we want to overwrite the old attribute value. We can check for an absolute url and not overwrite in that case, but that doesn't fix the case where the user coded their own relative path.

Let's see if we can figure out some UI that would let us specify whether to overwrite the URL or not (or to always specify it in the UI).

Proposal: If the viewSourceURL attribute has an existing value, don't touch it unless the user alters the wizard's view source output location.

Rationale: If you change the wizard output location then you presumably want to update the viewSourceURL to point to it. But if you've changed the viewSourceURL attribute yourself to point somewhere you can't specify in the wizard, you still want the wizard to generate the view source files but you're going to handle moving them to the arbitrary URL's location (unknown to the wizard).
