WHAT’S NEW WEBDRIVE 8.24
- Fixed Save As issue in excel/word when “cache temporary files” was enabled and the user selected to create a new folder in the save as dialog for excel/word and the folder was named with all numbers, i.e. 2009 then Word was unable to save the file because WebDrive treated the folder creation as a temporary file.
- Fixed issue in 8.23 for DAV and uploading large files using the setting “Enable chunked upload for large files” which is on by default. Many servers do not support chunked file upload and in version 8.23 when this setting was enabled it uploaded all files rather than just files larger than 1 GB. Version 8.24 resets to the previous webdrive behavior of uploading in chunked mode for files grater than 1 GB.
- Fixed hang issue that could freeze explorer and the system, seen most often on Vista SP1 but could happen on other systems as well.
- Fixed IIS / NTLM authentication issue that resulted in errors renaming or uploading files when using Auto DAV locking on persistent connections.
- Fixed Offline synchronization issue when editing a word file offline and then performing a synchronize operation that resulted in a “Server modified copy” file being created when the file was not actually modified on the server by another user.
- Fixed Offline issue where folders or files that were previously marked offline could lose their status as “offline” files.
- Added support for French FTP servers that don’t support the MLSD command. Webdrive can now parse the unix date listing that contains month names in french.
- Changed auto dav lock behavior to NOT take out a DAV lock when an application is doing byte range locks if the file extension is not in the user supplied extension list.
- Changed FTP symbolic link resolve logic to use the link name instead of the path when determining if a link is for a file or folder.
