I have made my top-level class CatalogAware. This class consists of

hundreds of compound data elements that are not specifically declared to be CatalogAware, yet they are grouped into one index recorded for the top-level class. I know in order to get the delete, cut, copy, and paste functionality to work in reindexing items I need to override these methods. However, this has no effect on reindexing a simple compound element when it is the only item cut and pasted, deleted, etc.

My question is, should I override the main functions that control these operations from the manage_main view? I have already made modifications to the presentation logic of manage_main. Is overriding the button functionality a 'smart' thing to do? I need the delete operation to perform other tasks as well, i.e. when an object of a certain meta_type is deleted, a mirrored folder structure at the root should be automatically deleted as well.

thanks, stacy
