Description Nicholas Loomans 2012-09-23 20:46:24 UTC
When creating a new project from PHP template, selecting an already populated folder brings up a warning that is not explicit that it will empty the folder resulting in project lost.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Projects > New from Template
2. Choose folder that already exists
3. Click next to view warning
Actual Results:  
Deletes all files in the folder

Expected Results:  
Warned me that all the files were about to be deleted, or files moved

It doesn't delete all files in the folder, It only adds the project on top, as advertised.

The alternative would be not doing anything at all, given that there already is a big fat dialog I don't see how this can be error prone.
