I am rather new to Zope. I have a question related to copy and paste in the root folder. I have a user folder (RUSER) with several objects stored in it --some external methods and some sub-folders. Each of the sub-folders has a SiteRoot object, some html files and may have one or more folders. I thought that I might form a copy of the RUSER hierarchy, do some work on it and, given that things still look ok, rename the copy to RUSER. The problem which I seem to be having is this. When I modify files in the copy, the changes are also taking place in the original hierarchy. I suspect that the copy operation is a shallow copy but I am unable to verify this hypothesis. First: is my suspicion correct? Secondly, if I am correct, then is there a way to use the copy and past buttons to perform a deep copy? Should I perhaps do an import/export?
