I use the following to achieve "Editor (Hrsg.): Booktitle" when citing a collection in its own right, but at the same time "Author: Title. In: Booktitle, hrsg. von Editor" when citing a contribution to that collection:
\usepackage[style=footnote-dw,xref=true]{biblatex}
\ExecuteBibliographyOptions[incollection]{useeditor=false}
However, this produces "Author: Title, in: : Booktitle, hrsg. von Editor" with a superfluous colon. I am not sure if this should be considered a bug, or rather a mistake on my part. In any case, I would be very interested in your comments.
Best wishes,
Anton

Sorry for the delay. Could you please provide a minimal working example? Instructions on how to do that can be found here: http://biblatex.dominik-wassenhoven.de/hilfen-allgemein.shtml?de&mini (in German), http://biblatex.dominik-wassenhoven.de/hilfen-allgemein.shtml?en&mini (in English).

Thank you very much for your reply! Here is a minimal working example:
When I compile it, Footnote 1 looks like this (as it should - I do want the editor in front when citing the proceedings volume itself):
Footnote 2 looks like this
As desired, the editor comes after the title when an article from the proceedings volume is cited. However, there is a superfluous colon. So footnote 2 should look like this:
Footnote 3 shows another problem that troubles me: It looks like this
But as the same author has been cited in footnote 2 it should look like this (last name only; note that I have inserted \mancite to avoid "idem"):
I am looking forward to your thoughts on this!
Thanks for the MWE. I can confirm the bug. Workaround: Replace @proceedings and @inproceedings by @collection and @incollection. I will have to look into this to make it work for @proceedings and @inproceedings as well.

Thank you for the suggested workaround! However, I get the same result when I use "collection" instead of "proceedings" -- I am not sure what I am doing wrong. Note that I have also changed "inproceedings" to "incollection" in the line
May I also ask about footnote 3 again: How can I achieve that the author is cited by his last name only (as the full name already appears in footnote 2)? Thank you so much!

I think this might have to do with the defintion of
cite:xref
.I'd use in
footnote-dw.cbx
The current definition does not have the
\setunit
around\nametitledelim
. This means that\nametitle
is always printed even if nothing went before it - as happens here, becauseuseeditor=false
moves the editor after the title. I'm not sure if this causes problems in other places, but it should not.Sorry, I saw that too late for version 1.7a, but it will be fixed in 1.7b.
