I refer to the problem explained below (previously submitted to zope.org)

 

My question :

Has anyone already manage to use together « local file system » and « external editor » successfully ?

 

( Editing & Saving with Microsoft tools  [by the means of « external editor »] documents located in a « local FS » )

 

 

 

ps : it doesn’t appear to be a « permission » problem and nothing is recorded in the error_log

 

Thanks.

 

Phil.

Hi all !

 

 

My zope config :  Zope 2.6.4 (binary release, python 2.1, win32-x86), python 2.1.3, win32

 

 

My problem :

 

 

I’m using  a « local file system »  containing some picture (jpg).  Its name is PHVFS

Im’ also using  « external editor »

I also have some picture (jpg) contained in a common zope folder (named TST_FOLDER)

(nb : PHVFS & TST_FOLDER are at the same level in the tree of my zope server)

 

I have configured  ZopeEdit.ini  so that  all « jpg » pictures are open with MS Photo Editor (and all « txt » must be opened under MS WORD).

 

 

I have a page template showing some URL :

 

- when i’m editing a « jpg » from TST_FOLDER,                                Photo Editor comes ; I update the picture and I can save it.

- when i’m editing a « txt » from TST_FOLDER (eg : a python script),  MS WORD comes ;    I update the file and I can save it

- when i’m editing a « jpg » from PHVFS,                                         Photo Editor comes ; I update the picture and I CANNOT save it.

- when i’m editing a « txt » from PHVFS (eg : a notepad file),            MS WORD comes ;    I update the file and I CANNOT save it.

 

 

By « cannot save it »  I mean that the application agrees to close normally, but when I open the file again, the changes have not been registered.

 

Can anybody tells me what happen ?   I need to make it work with a local file system.

 

Thanks in advance.

 

Phil
