Opening Files in Web Folders
Greetings,
I am working with a subversion repository mounted via Web Folders on
Windows 2000. I am finding it rather annoying than any file that I
open, it attempts to open in Internet Explorer. Is there any way to
avoid this behavior and have the files open in their appropriate
application? (.pdf files in Acrobat Reader, .txt files in TextPad,
etc.)
Cheers,
-craig

I haven't tried webdav with svn yet, but I have used it a lot with Sharepoint.
Explorer is pretty limited and simplistic when it's viewing a web
drive. I had good luck using a (commercial, but cheap) product called
WebDrive. It mounts it as a regular-looking drive, which makes
Explorer give you all the same right-click and double-click behavior
as any other network drive.

Yes, I have tried it, and if I were the one dealing with this, I would
probably consider it. However, this is being setup for a customer and
he has expressed that dealing licenses for a commercial product is not
an option.

Have you tried using WebDrive? It's worth a look, if nothing else ...
I've had good luck with it, myself. It should effectively
short-circuit the properties thing and just look at the file
extension.

I don't know of any way that Windows webfolders can be used to set
'properties' on files, despite the fact that 'properties' are a core
WebDAV concept.

Ben,
Thank you for your response. Now that I am finally back to working
with this issue, I have a follow up question. If the files are added
via Web Folders, is there a way to have the mime type set? From what
I've read, properties cannot be set via post-commit hooks. Am I right?
Cheers,
-craig

Yes, set the 'svn:mime-type' property on files. mod_dav_svn will
notice the property, and use its value in the response headers of an
http GET request for the file.
