Description Dani Megert CLA 2004-06-15 06:12:05 EDT 
Test Pass for 3.0 RC2

File > Import
  > Zip File
  > File System

The source entry fields don't do any validation i.e. don't report wrong paths.
The user has to press tab to get a status update.

This is related to bug 66305.  I think this is done in case the source is on a 
network where validating the file name on every keystroke could potentially be 
an expensive (read: timely) operation.

This is low priority for us, but we would consider a patch if one is provided.

This bug hasn't had any activity in quite some time. Maybe the problem got resolved, was a duplicate of something else, or became less pressing for some reason - or maybe it's still relevant but just hasn't been looked at yet.

If you have further information on the current state of the bug, please add it. The information can be, for example, that the problem still occurs, that you still want the feature, that more information is needed, or that the bug is (for whatever reason) no longer relevant.
