If you check out the HTML, it deals with that... if you don't support JavaScript, it will put the traditional Add button there :-) Chris -- | Christopher Petrilli Python Powered Digital Creations, Inc. | petrilli(a)digicool.com http://www.digicool.com

How about also replacing the option list with separate buttons ("Add File", "Add Folder", etc.) for faster access.

Now, how much an improvement is the new method really, I ask, I still prefer the new method, since it's something used so frequently - even one less click is a good thing. I wonder about its browser-compatibility though.

FYI: Articles about Zope needed
by Amos Latteier 12 Jul '99

12 Jul '99

Hello Zopistas, Would you like to write an article about Zope? I just got some mail from Christopher Tan Teck Hean (chris(a)LinuxDev.Net)at Linux Developer's Net. http://linuxdev.net/ He says that he's interested in publishing writing about Zope, """ Actually, we would welcome any kind of article (reviews, tutorials, etc). The only criteria is that it should be of interest to developers. I think some introductory level articles on Zope would be useful, followed by more technical articles. Actually, I was thinking that maybe I could add a new column in LDN Journal dedicated to Zope, with articles submitted by the Zope community. I would be most grateful if you could ask/discuss this with the rest of the Zope community. Thanks for you help. """ Cool. If you're interested in Zope and have figured out how to do something cool with it, writing about it would be a great way to contribute back to the community. I'm not going to have a lot of time to do much writing myself, at least not for a little while. However, I'm willing to help people who want to write. For example, I'd be happy discuss article ideas with folks or to read articles for technical accuracy. -Amos -- Amos Latteier mailto:amos@digicool.com Digital Creations http://www.digicool.com

Re: [Zope] Zope, performance and multithreading (beginner questio ns)
by Christopher Petrilli 12 Jul '99

12 Jul '99

The boiled down reasoning on MySQL is that because of the lack of transaction symantics that are viable, we can not integrate the transaction manager in Zope with that of MySQL (as it doesn't exist). Table locks are great I suppose (I'm not convinced of their viability in actual large applications), but I fear that the symantics dissonance will create a huge problem in reliability. For me, it's better to have a limited functionality DA that is reliable than one that can hose up either your data or Zope. This is my personal opinion, it does not impact other people disagreeing, nor anyone else implementing a free-threading DA. It simply impacts our current stance on Digital Creations implementing and supporting a MySQL DA. The current goal is to get it to Level 2, where it single threads. What do you do when you have 3 applications talking to the same database, and one of them (Zope) might have 100 threads talking to it? If there's a lot of updates, I fear the potential for dead-lock is enormous. -- | Christopher Petrilli Python Powered Digital Creations, Inc. | petrilli(a)digicool.com http://www.digicool.com

Automatic determination of height/width properties in Images?
by Darran Edmundson 12 Jul '99

12 Jul '99

I just imported my existing web into Zope via the fsimport external method. Unfortunately the height/width property of the imported images was not set. Can anyone offer a way of automating the retrieval and setting of these properties? Cheers, Darran. [It's been a long day. I finally decided to install Zope at 11am this morning. 14.5 hours later, I am having to drag myself away from the monitor - what a great system.] -- Darran Edmundson dEdmundson(a)bigfoot.com
