Hi devs,
I propose we make "Edit this attachment" in the "Attachments" tab an
advanced feature in the advanced edit mode.
When trying to use "Edit this attachment":
- in IE you get the following message: "Could not initialize a required
ActiveX object"
- in FF 3.5.2 installing the extension delivers the following
message:"FoxWiki 1.0b could not be installed because it is not compatible
with Firefox 3.5.2".
- installing the extension on an older version of FF requires additional
configuration, which the average user may not know how to perform.
Under the above circumstances I think "Edit this attachment" will cause
confusion for the average user instead of providing a useful tool.
WDYT?

This is a technical problem, but the feature is really nice especially
for simple users. It allows, for example, to edit Word attachments with
a simple click.
Better: Fix FoXWiki to work with modern FF, make the script better
detect when WebDAV can be used in IE.
