Is there currently a Product that uses the filesystem like you are talking about? FSSession? Is there a product to store the all my ZClass instances let's say on the file system right now?
If there were one, it wouldn't be a Product. What you're looking for is a Storage for ZODB - look in your zope-home under /lib/python/ZODB. You can just write storage methods and plug them in. OTOH you can't (yet) store parts of your Zope tree in one storage and parts in other; you would have to move the whole thing from Data.fs to whatever you're going to use. Still I'd like to see a "filesystem directory tree storage" (but what about version control? Undo? The whole transaction infrastructure?) Personally, I think the best sollution for us is a storage based on XDelta and XDFS (check out modules xdelta, prcs2 and xdfs from the Gnome CVS and check it out). And there is a draft paper by the author describing it... uh... where is it? Oh, here: http://www.cs.berkeley.edu/~jmacd/masters.ps.gz I've been dreaming of a XDFS storage for the past few weeks :-) I'm even considering offering to hire Josh MacDonald (the author of XDFS) to write it, I don't know whether he'd be available but...
