Thanks, you are correct regarding the pencil icon. It seems to work by using the /externalEdit_/ prepend to the tail of the URL. I'm getting a lock 401 unauthorized (no authorization header) message, but I suspect that's just my setup and I'll figure it out. Nice product.

I imagine the problem is not that they cannot be edited, but that the pencil icons do not show up. My guess is that LocalFS implements its own object manager contents view. Since ExEditor only overrides the default one so that it shows the pencil icons, LocalFS is not affected. A similar problem happens with OrderedFolder. -Casey On Wednesday 11 September 2002 02:13 pm, Meilicke, Scott wrote:

Has anyone used ExternalEditor to edit LocalFS objects?
