Unchecking ‘Use default location’ should not clear the ‘Location’ entry box - it should leave the default path selected so that it can be easily edited if it’s nearly right.

Of course, if it is not close, a single keystroke will clear it.

(The dialogue chosed for the ‘Browse’ button is a very cumbersome one - the one more like a File Open dialogue is far easier to use).

True. We’ve decided to include it in the refactoring of the New Project Wizard we are going to do for 1.2.0  
Keep the faith 😉

This was fixed for creating a New project, but the problem persists when copying a project

Mmm, what do you mean about “copying” a project?

In the Project Explorer:

1. Right-click a project, and choose ‘Copy’
2. Right-click in empty space, and choose ‘Paste’
3. A ‘Copy Project’ dialogue appears with ‘Project name’ (defaults to"'Copy of "), ‘Use default location’ (defaults to checked), and ‘Location’ (defaults to greyed-out)
4. Unchecking ‘Use default location’ clears the ‘Location’ entry.

Wasn’t aware that was possible!..  
Unfortunately, if the Open AT project wizard is designed by us, this project copy/paste capability is entirely managed by Eclipse itself. Maybe should you post an evolution request at [eclipse.org](http://eclipse.org)…
