Bit more hints from the Mac front:

We now have on Mac:
I'm working on this issue these days, will put a fix soon :)
- WebDAV working for browsing and downloading
files
that's cool. It generates .DS_Store files in each directory that is browsed
btw... you may want to care to allow temporarily these (they used to have
weird permissions).
Also, it would be nice to generate the .localized files to have directory
names that change according to language.
- WebDAV working for drag and dropping files
- WebDAV working with vi in view, edit and save (it says on save that the
file was changed while editing although it's not true)
that is a major annoyance.
- WebDAV working with a patched version of
OpenOffice (with a fix for
locking) or with official NeoOffice in view edit and save
- WebDAV working with TextEdit in view, edit but NOT save
Mac OSX generates phony attachments to store temporart files. TextEdit
fails because it tries to create a file then MOVE it (it might be because of
the same locking issue as OpenOffice).
Note: this practice of write then move is the de-facto standard, it is also
used in emacs and jEdit (though the latter makes it configurable), and, I
think, BBedit. The simple reason is that you don't want to crash the
previous version if you crash in the middle of a save (which happens).
I suppose, it's the same on other platforms.
