Hi developers!

According discussion about this FoxWiki & "Edit attachments" feature at XWiki-Dev subforum. I want to write my opinion for developers.

Current situation: - In IE this feature working good without any additional jobs (I tested 2.2.4). - In FF - need to use FoxWiki extension (download manualy xpi-file, and edit max-version property). - In Chrome - "Edit attachments" - doesn't work.

I have proposal about using this feature in FF. FoxWiki working, but I don't like that users MANUALY everytime should add file extention and application path in FoxWiki. From other side, exists some other extentions for FF (for example http://openwebfolder.mozdev.org/). As I understand, this extention adds to FF functionality of windows WebFolder WebDAV client - same as IE. But now, I cannot use (or try) this extention with XWiki, because XWiki programming code obviously use ONLY FoxWiki at FF. As I understand, If we will try to use openwebfolder extention - no any special code needs for XWiki - programming code can be same as a IE part.

Other collaborative suits software also use openwebfolder extention for FF (see for example

http://help.collab.net/index.jsp?topic=/teamforge530/action/connecttowebdavw... ).

Openwebfolder has the following description: "*openwebfolder* itself does *not* contain any platform-independant WebDAV related code. It just adds hooks so that Microsoft's "Webfolder" WebDAV client can be invoked in a similar way like in IE." So this is a windows only solution. May be we should have some logic like: if (IE) { // Use native webdav support in IE. } else if (FF && Win32) { // Use openwebfolder. } else if (FF) { // Use FoXWiki. } But first someone has to evaluate if openwebfolder + FF on Win32 is better than FoXWiki + FF on the same. Anyway, I'm not sure if above logic can be implemented or if it is the best approach, someone has to digg a little deep. Just my opinion :) - Asiri

For this reason, alternative proposal: no use any special extention for WebDav - use standart openwebfolder extention (this extention is better because not need to manualy add file extentions and application paths). According this - need to change XWiki programming code for WebDav using in Firefox.

I am not a specialist with XWiki programming, for this reason - sorry, if I write something stupid ... What do you think about my variant?
