Editing metafiles using WebDAV edit mode

Metafiles in Kentico are files stored together with system objects. Typical examples of metafiles are:

  • E-commerce product images
  • web part thumbnails
  • widget thumbnails
  • page template thumbnails
  • etc.

All these files can be edited using WebDAV Edit mode — in the respective fields, you can find the Edit in client application () icon. Clicking the icon opens the the file for editing in a client application (if there is an application for the particular file type installed on the client machine and if the application supports WebDAV).
