Hello, This is an issue with M$ webfolder client. When you create a new folder, the default behaviour of the webfolder is to create a new directory with the displayname and uri to "New Folder". When you give in your name, or rename the folder, webfolder only makes a propatch to the displayname witch, in the end, results in the display you encountered: new folders inside newfolders, inside newfolders... The problem maybe would not show up if when making copies or moves from one side to another in webfolder, the displayname wouldn't revert to "New Folder" again.
The solution: use other client to manage folders. Hope this helps, Miguel Figueiredo -----Original Message----- From: Paul Dorman [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: quinta-feira, 7 de Abril de 2005 1:41 To: slide-user@jakarta.apache.org Subject: Circular folders in Windows XP Hi all, we have a simple WebDAV repository set up and our primary clients are Windows XP machines. I can get around the issue of domain passwords by using this format when setting up a new webfolder: http://webdav:/slide/ The colon seems to help nicely :o) The problem now is that when you create a new folder (collection) in Windows XP, you see the same folder inside itself over and over again. So: New folder->New folder->New folder... If I look at the properties in Windows it never stops telling me how many subfolders there are. But in DAVExplorer or Nautilus I only see the one collection. Has anyone seen this problem before? It's bizarre to say the least! On top of that, hitting 'refresh' seems to kill the behaviour in an inconsistent way (sometimes works, sometimes doesn't). One other note, is there any way to improve auto-versioning compatibility with Windows XP?
