Hi Thorsten,

today I've found this thread and I instantly downloaded your latest prerelease version as of today for testing it's WebDAV functionality on a Samsung Galaxy with Android 1.5 to connect to a personal WebDAV server with self-signed SSL certificate over 3G, no WLAN. Here a short feedback:
  • GUI is interesting. Refreshing, but maybe a little irritating
  • the webdav settings text input dialogs are probably set to wrap content, because the dialogs are very small when empty and wider when filled
  • don't know if "host" value needs "https://..:" prefix or not. Tried without and setting the SSL option, worked.
  • Warning for my self-signed SSL certificate, and it works. Great!
  • After some seconds of idle and new actions I get the message "You are about to open a TCP/IP network connection. ..." repeatedly. Though I only answer with "Yes" and not with "Never ask", this might by a little bit annoying for on session.
  • Downloading a single file with long-click menu item "open" is little bit unintuitive
  • OK, "open" was the inappropriate action for downloading a single file. "Copy" seems the action I need, but where has the copied file been gone to?
  • When I choose common menu item "disconnect", it shows me my WebDAV connection and a connection "MOBILE". What is this? A little bit confusing.
  • OK, "MOBILE" seems to be my phone. When I look at it's contents with entry from the main menu item "Bookmarks", I can only return to the main menu by disconnection "MOBILE" again. That is different from the usual file managers navigation behaviour.
  • Maybe it would be nice to decide wether a copied file should be saved in the default copy target folder or into an individual one which can be selected by a browse dialog
Anyway your application seems to implement a lot of functionality and despite of the gui behaviour it really does what it promises, and that's a really great job.

Thanks for your efforts:
Klaus
