Hello !

I have a very wrong experience with ZOPE+APE. I have been used the APE in Windows, and it is very good working under Win, but when I copy this Data.fs to Debian Sarge/SID, it is making very ugly errors.

So I'm very tired by Zope External Editing.

The FTP is not too good, because ftp files are not containing the file extension, and I need to set in all of files, when I load of these items to my editor (I need to mirror the ftp, and upload, when I finished).

The External Editor is working with only tk editor. When I set the aplication for mime type, and want to edit the document, it is opening, but when I save, nothing happened.

I think, these editors (ConText, SciTe) are not locking the opened files, and Zope had been see, these files are not edited.

Perhaps these editors detach from the controlling process. Are you running the editor on Windows or Unix? They need to be configured so that they do not detach if possible for Ext. Editor to manage them.

So: anyone have a positive idea to External Editing ???? Or I need to back to mod_python ??? :-)

Hmmm, I'm not sure how mod_python solves editing problems. If you're talking about source code, Zope supports filesystem python code which is in fact much more powerful than the through-the-web variety. -Casey
