Bit more hints from the Mac front:

We now have on Mac:
- 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.
