I've been able to get around this by creating a _notifyOfCopyTo on the folder type that does the recursion. There's a delicate dance in some of my code that does some work in _notifyOfCopyTo and other work in _getCopy. This could be improved I bet, but touching the code means that you surely own it forever. ;-) On Mon, 2005-08-08 at 11:05 -0400, Geoff Davis wrote:
I have been developing some classes that need to know when they are copied or moved. I have been achieving this by adding my own versions of _notifyOfCopyTo, _postCopy, and manage_afterClone. Everything works as expected when you copy / paste an individual object. However, I have recently been made aware of a problem with this approach: if you copy not the object itself, but rather a folder containing the object, only manage_afterClone is called. In looking through OFS/CopySupport.py and OFS/ObjectManager.py, I discovered the source of the problem: manage_afterClone is called recursively on ObjectManagers, but _notifyOfCopyTo and _postCopy are not.
Is this intentional? If not, I'd like to check in a fix.
