"Detaching" sub objects from a folder for the purpose of say export is something I would really like to do as well. If you figure this out (without deleting and undeleting), let me know... :)
If for example zsyncher (or the zope export mechanism) was looking for a propery called do_not_export, and would not export any subobject if it's a folder, it would work. Or did I miss something?
the zope export mechanism takes one object more or less and it doesn't look inside it. I have want I want already, but it only works if you can make a zope object copy of what I want to export. If the folder I copy doesn't have too many objects in it, I can copy it and apply a script that looks at properties or meta type or id. More suggestions. Peter
