OpenCms 7.x: WebDAV - no overwriting of files possible - just for confirmation

>
> Hi Michael, hi Christian,
>
> thanks a lot for your answers. I digged even deeper into that WebDAV
> thing. My main purpose is to evaluate, if OpenCms gives the
> possibility of using it as a kind of document management system.
> Mainly for copying and editing office documents (doc, xls, pdf...)
> without going to the OpenCms workspace.
>
> By now, even with the recommended tools (WebDrive), I think OpenCms is
> far away from that.
>
> Even with WebDrive
>
> -          I cannot overwrite pdf files (copy from local drive to the
> webdav drive)
>
> -          OpenCms does not recognize office documents as binary type
> but as plain text
>
> Can anybody confirm this behaviour on a standard 7.5.1 installation?
>
>  
>
> Apart from, that I already heard about the Windows XP web folders
> being not very good, I have to say, when using them with Liferay, I
> can do everything I can imagine (copy, move, delete, create resources,
> double-click / edit / save).
>
> So is it possible, that there might be some (minor) bugs in the WebDAV
> implementation of OpenCms?
>
>  
>
> Are there more people
>
> -          with experience in OpenCms with WebDAV?
>
> -          Who know other tools similar to WebDrive / WebDrive?
>
> -          Who know a good document management solution which can be
> plugged into OpenCms?

> Hi list,
>  
> as I mostly use the OpenCms Maven Plugin, I rarely used the OpenCms WebDAV feature.
>  
> Yesterday I started looking deeper into that feature.
>  
> As the excellent tutorial on http://www.opencms-wiki.org/WebDAV_access_to_the_OpenCms_VFS explains, it is possible to copy, move, delete and create resources with the plugin, whereas double-clicking and editing is not possible.
>  
> Additionally I found out, that it seems not to be possible to overwrite an existing file (copying  a file from my local drive to the OpenCms WebDAV folder).
>  
> Can anyone confirm this or give me a hint if I am doing something wrong.

> I used the Windows XP "Web Folders" feature and am not using

> ·         Total Commander WebDAV Plugin

> ·         Novell Netdrive

> At least a question to the guys from Alkacon: Do you have plans to add the missing features in the near futures?
