I am relatively new to Zope, but I plan to use it for an image database system that I need to make for scientific purposes. What I have in mind is to store the actual images externally in files (since there will be many and large files), and the info about the image (where collected, owner, codes etc etc) in a database like MySQL. Zope would form the interface. Good!
My first question is what would be a suitable way to go from here: use LocalFS or ExtImage for storage of many files (think of 50,000 or so)? I will need to be able to differentiate between users: ie not every user should have access to all files. We went for "ExtImage" and up to now made good experience.
