182377 - composer incorrectly publishes files into one flat directory

Status: VERIFIED INVALID

(SeaMonkey :: Composer, defect)

Description

[David Ranch]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win95; en-US; rv:1.1) Gecko/20020826

When publishing HTML and the associately image files (.jpgs), the publish
process uploads the various images from a directory heirarchy (www/vaction,
/www/family, etc) into the master directory (flat - no heirarchy).  Also, the
published HTML file for the index.html file still reflects the heirarchy thus
everything is now giving broken links, etc.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. create a www site with a heirarchy (multiple subdirectories)
2. publish it
3. few the resulting published WWW site - all heirarchy files are flattened into
one directory

Actual Results:  
all heirarchy files are flattened into one directory

Expected Results:  
Mozilla should:
1. see if the files should have been copied over instead of blindly doing it
2. create the required subdirectories to put the files in their proper place

I tried this with Mozilla 1.1 and was going to post a bug but then saw that 1.2
was out.  I hoped this was a known bug.  It might be similar to Bugzilla id:
142157 but it's not clear.

How did you fill out the publish dialog?
Did you check the box for "include images and other files"?
If so, which radio button did you use?  It sounds like you want to specify "Use
this site subdirectory" and fill it in with either "vacation" or "family" or
similar.

Please try again with a newer build (1.3alpha?).
