Comment:

 Last week I sent the following question to support at mountainduck.io:

 ''We are in the process of rolling out WebDAV support for developers using
 our CMS.  As I explored the available options for WebDAV clients on both
 Windows and MacOS platforms, I stumbled across CyberDuck and your new
 Mountain Duck product.  For collaborative development, however, the
 ability to lock files while you are editing them is critical, and
 virtually no WebDAV clients currently support locking that we've been able
 to find.  We're especially looking for appropriate tools for our Mac
 users, since we haven't found any tools they can use to lock and unlock
 files on a WebDAV share while they are working on them.  Are there any
 plans to support locking files on a WebDAV share in either your CyberDuck
 or Mountain Duck products?''

 Today, David Kocher replied with the following:

 ''Thanks for your interest in Mountain Duck! We do not currently support
 resource locking as there were implementation issues in Cyberduck with
 potential dangling locks after editing a file. In Mountain Duck this could
 be implemented properly I suppose. Please reopen and comment ticket [1] to
 allow us track the issue.''

 So as requested I am now doing so.  One simple option is to simply provide
 toolbar or menu functions to lock and unlock a file manually as a separate
 process from editing a file.  While it is not as automated as
 automatically locking and unlocking a file while editing it, it at least
 exposes the functionality in a way that can be used.
