They are real objects, just in a different sense. The easiest way to figure it out is too look at the dtml that comes in the LocalFS source. For example to get a listing of LocalFS folder instead of: objectIds() try fileItems() -- Andy McKay, Developer.

By that, I mean: If I wanted the last_mod time of any Zope object, I could say <dtml-var "object.subobject.bobobase_modification_time">. However, if you try to do the same thing with a LocalFS object, i.e. <dtml-var "localfs_object.localfs_subobject.bobobase_modification_time">, you get the error NameError: localfs_subobject This leads me to believe that LocalFS subobjects are not really objects. But then how does the Zope management interface deal with them, and how can I? _______________________________________________ Zope maillist - Zope@zope.org http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope ** No cross posts or HTML encoding! ** (Related lists - http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-announce http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-dev )
