When I mount a folder in the web dev module the browse window is showing my file system and not the gateway. Is this a bug or something I'm missing?

I was actually unaware 7.9 had the web dev module.

_EDIT_ yes, it’s like this in 7.9.

Looks like an issue in 7.9 as well… not so much a bug as it is a really strange oversight.

It’s fine if you’re designing _on_ the gateway machine, but whoever added this may not have thought it all the way through…

Yeah, that makes sense. No sweat off my back, i just wanted to share. If i need to mount a gateway folder I will do so via designer on the gateway.
