Tomorrow I hope to release a version of TransparentFolders that works around the problem, so you can wait for that instead if you like.
Cool! Could you maybe put the patch that currently is applied in OFS/__init.py__ into a Hotfix? This would make it easier to use Transparent Folders together with INSTANCE_HOME installations where people just symlink to the product folders ...
No. The patch has to be invoked before product initilization because ExtensionClass won't acknowledge the __getattr__() if it's added to ObjectManager too late. You can just put the patch in your SOFTWARE_HOME, though, and instances that don't have the product installed won't complain and won't have the performance hit.
I'm glad to know the product is being used. I don't think it will be in the core distribution since it causes a performance hit.
We know about the performance hit. But is it a big one?
I can't say. I haven't done any measurements. Shane
