Description Curtis Windatt CLA 2009-10-22 12:13:21 EDT 
Many sites, such as the Galileo site, get displayed in the "Work with:" section of the install wizard as <name> - <location>.  However, the user cannot type into the combo a <name> - <location> entry.

It would be nice to be able to just type a name in front of the location and have it be parsed instead of telling me my site is invalid (even if it is the exact same site with a modified name).

More annoying is that I can't copy and paste the location.  When working with a self hosted workbench I need to add one or more repos to the install dialog (or to the PDE target).  The easiest way for me to do that is to copy the location from my host, but I have to make sure that I select just the url.

Still just a minor inconvenience though.

yeah, I've been tripped up by this, also.
I'll mark it for 3.6 to keep it on the radar but no promises...
