I'm not clear about what you meant by "just not popping up", but let me elaborate a bit. The current xwiki-webdav implementation already works with windows-web-folders and mac-osx-webdav-connection. But the problem with these is that the user needs to leave the browser and perform some setup if he wishes to work on the files directly. And moreover, webfolders does not provide the complete filesystem abstraction like webdav redirector on xp, which requires further complicated setup ( net use * " http://mydavserver/xwiki/webdav"; ... ). The idea is to prevent the user from having to leave the browser and thus make his life easy. I mean think about a possible extension, we can let the users edit their wiki pages (not just attachments) using his favorite word processor! Once he saves the document it will be saved into the server (via webdav) and the results will be visible immediately. I hope i have answered your question correctly. Please let me know if you have further comments :) Thanks. - Asiri > I understand the usage of an extension such as foxwiki only in order to > make this easy but honestly I find copy-and-paste of the URL, adding > appropriate credientals, is the thing that should and must work before any > other. > > paul > > Le 15-sept.-08 à 20:47, Asiri Rathnayake a écrit : > > Hi Devs, >> >> From today onwards I'll be working on integrating the xwiki-webdav plugin >> in >> the xwiki ui.
