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).
Yes.. we have work on handling . files in memory.. We have do to the same with . directories.
Also, it would be nice to generate the .localized files to have directory names that change according to language.
I'm working on this issue these days, will put a fix soon :)
- 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.
Yes.. We have to look into this. Our biggest priority is Office tools however..
- 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).
This should actually work now. OpenOffice Writer now works and I think it was failing because this was missing. TextEdit is more complex because it's not a temp file but a temporary directory. It stills fails currently. Ludovic
I suppose, it's the same on other platforms.
