Hey,
Here is my opinion on the topic. When we talk about 'New project' (as in the
screenshot), then even in Eclipse it is OK to have standard OS path in the dialog.
However, Max is right that for most of the things the Eclipse way is to use internal
locations. Something like Forge's ~ alias. Maybe you can show another dialog (like
creating new entity), where using relative paths is more suitable. Or I didn't
understand Max's remark about Location correctly?
I was actually talking initially just about naming of things, i.e. the label used to refer
to a directory.
The internal location part is more about being able to specify Eclipse workspace locations
(or if in intellij or netbeans mounted project paths) instead of full directory paths.
That is a separate discussion/feature which I was trying to not get into yet.
/max
Cheers,
Ivan

Hey Max,
It's fine if we use "Location" instead of "Directory" in the
addons we build, but... we can't force people to use specific terminology. So our
policy will only be a local one, if that makes sense.

Hi Max,
Thanks for the suggestion. Title and descriptions are already implemented. This screen
shot is a little bit old :)
Icon settings is on the roadmap.
