This thread is about the "How to import this model" auto-generated page below every model file.

[...] the images generated are not applicable to the 1.32 World Editor. This has already confused people as they expected to see the old, 1.26-era, popup to change the file path, instead of having to click precisely on the "File Name" and getting to edit the path directly.

As both new and returning modders are likely to get confused by this, I recommend changing the autogenerated images to reflect the current situation.
Depending on how far you want to go to support the old versions, you could expect the popup that results from the same actions to be viewed as equivalent or you could supply a second link that will have the instructions (in the form of a Hive tutorial) on how to import in old versions.

The "How to import this model" shows screenshots from Mac and does not represent how the World Editor Import Manager looks anymore. Redo it to look more like current Warcraft (and on Windows).
