Of course, WebAda does not give you that option - all files are kept in
a single directory. Combine that with an inability to delete or rename
files, and a file naming mistake can really cause some excitement!

Sometimes, simple GUI interfaces can be just a little _too_ simple..."

There seems to be a disconnect here. You reported a bug, since fixed,
which did indeed cause a strange message from a misnamed file, but that
was simply a bug.

The issue with paths is quite different, and as you point out, irrelevant
to the use of WebAda.
