Hi. Can someone confirm this...
I just downloaded and installed the JASC Namo WebEditor and it seems to let me visually edit Zope objects that do not have file extensions, and also not clobber my code.

If so, after fighting with Dreamweaver as a visual Zope editor, this would make my day, and make Zope interface development much more accessible to designers.
Any other input about quirkyness of this product with Zope would be appreciated. I'm just starting to look at it.
Wow! Only had the quickest of plays but I think Harlow has uncovered a gem. My observations: Namo is agnostic about dtml tags. Editing via the webdav source port just works (though I found I had to turn off back-ups and ftp in the preferences). Extension-less filenames seem fine. The only code mangling seems to be the insertion of <meta name="generator" content="Namo WebEditor v5.0(Trial)"> which is harmless enough. You get three tabs at the bottom of any window - Edit, HTML and Preview (Wysiwyg edit, HTML edit and the obvious respectively). One thing that puzzles me is that you're forced to re-authenticate every time you use the Preview tab via the webdav source port. Other than that my initial impressions are extremely favourable. In 10 minutes of playing I found it more intuitive than GoLive.
