Use External Editor to edit any file with your desktop softwares.
Zope External Editor allows to use desktop applications in order to edit any object. In the case of Files or derivates (any object that has a PrimaryFieldMarshaller), you can use ExternalEditor to edit your file. Every time you save the file, or when you close the file, it gets automatically saved back in the zope object.
The client of Zope External Editor is zopeedit.
This version is an updated version of zopeedit that takes care of applications that "fork". It is therefore possible to use it out of the box with OpenOffice.org, Gimp, or any other editor.
The only case that still needs specific plug-ins is when your editor forks and doesn't lock the file.
What are the benefits of ZopeEdit compared to other solutions ?
You may edit your contents using ftp, webdav or Enfold Desktop. The point using ZopeEdit is that you ever keep in the intranet.
You may use ARFilePreview and AROfficeTransforms if you wish to have inline preview and full text indexing.
You may use AROnlineDeskfile if you want to create you new files based on existing ones, without leaving the intranet.
What system does it work on ?
This version of ZopeEdit works on Windows XP, Windows vista + and Linux systems.
Mac users can use ZopeEditManager.
