taking over existing filestructure with slide?

[Sebastian Frankfurt <sf...@infesto.de>]

Hello,

...and now the orginal question.....

I have an existing filestructure of several Gigs and now I want to provide
the users a more comfortable access from the outsite world via webdav/slide.

As I understand the slide structure, it will only recognize those files
in the contentstore, that has been put into it via a webdav-client.

Scenario:

    + internal users are working with PC/Mac(respectively Samba/Appletalk)
    + external users should now work with webdav

Problem:

    - internal users change files via Samba/Appletalk and external by slide

Question:

    How do I tell slide, that there has been changes made to a file,
    whithout using a webdav client?



Slide is configured to save it's meta-data within a MySQL database
and stores the files on the filesystem.
I thought, it would be possible to scan the filesystem in order to
create the meta-data slide needs -> but how is the 'getetag' property
calculated?

I tested, inserting all meta-data, slide is able to tell the webdav client
that there is a file, but if I try to download it, slide does not find
the specified file although it is in the right position.

Is there a proper way of taking over an existing filesystem-structure?


thanx,

Sebastian
