No it's not, there's a cryptic error in IE, and I installed FoXWiki on my FF

allow me to edit, cannot edit since it doesn't know how. I know how to edit
options of an extension, I know where my gimp is, etc so I could set it up but I
don't think it's straightforward for all users).
After all this, it opened the gimp but I have an error (smth like cannot open
file from location because it didn't find it). Same problem as Marius said: "ah,
search for an editor supporting WebDAV (or maybe gedit
supports it but it needs to be configured?.. what's WebDAV?..)"
If it's working as expected and I couldn't get it to work, then it means it's
not simple.
my 2 cents,

The feature detects if FoXWiki is installed, and:

- if not, propose to install it
So right now it's behaving as expected, but FoXWiki cannot be installed
in this version of FF. It's a FoXWiki problem, not an XWiki one. 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?
-0 (bordering to -1) I think the pb is not advanced vs simple user.
It's about making the feature work, even for advanced users.
Right now from what you say this feature is not working well enough
and should be disabled by default for all users IMO, till we fix it.
Cannot we verify that the correct FoxWiki extension is installed
before activating the feature automatically?
