dear lennart, dear dieter, thank you for help, but i think there is some kind of misunderstanding... maybe my english is not so well... sorry for that. in short-terms: when i add a simple new product with a "add list name" like TEST (as described in the Zope Book), then 'TEST' will be displayed in the list of INDEX-Types in a ZCatalog ('TextIndex', 'KeyWordIndex','PathIndex','FieldIndex' and 'TEST'!!!!!!!!!). that's what i don't want. in long-terms: what do i do (i would be glad if someone could test this on his own machine and report what happens, would take only a minute..:-)) (there's no use in this product, it's only to reproduce the effect very quick...;-)): 1. Take a fresh install of Zope 2.4.3 or 2.5.0b4 (you can surely use your configured install, this is only to avoid mistakes caused by other products or so.) 2. Go to the Product-Management and add a new Product (call it TheTest or something) 3. Enter the new product 'TheTest' 4. Add a DTML-Method with id = hello (don't change the source) in the product 'TheTest' 5. Add a Zope Factory with id = TheFactory, Add list name = TEST, Initial method = hello 6. Now create a ZCatalog somewhere in your Root-Folder or elsewhere or enter an existing ZCatalog 7. Enter the ZCatalog and CLICK ON THE INDEXES-Tab (!!!!!!!!!!!!) 8. Now pull down the "Select type to add..."-Menu. In my Menu are now: FieldIndex KeywordIndex PathIndex TEST <-- That's what i don't want here TextIndex My question is: what do i have to do, that this does not happen, because it's a little bit confusing, because TEST is not an Indexer at all... I've tested this on 2.4.3 and 2.5.0b4... fresh installs, same results. thank you for your further help in advance. greetings, maik jablonski

Adding the new product metatype to the "Select type to add..." in the Management Interface is that what I want and what i get!!! but I DON'T
want an
entry in the "Add list name" in a ZCATALOG's INDEX-Tab. What to do?
Explanation: The "Select type to add"-list in a folder and the "Select type to add"-list in a catalog are one and the same. It is a list of availiable objects that you can add at that point. When you create a new object, it will appear in those lists.
Question: What problem does it cause you that it appears in both list?
