keeping files in the local filesystem
Hi, I am a Zope newbie and would appreciate some counsel from experienced Zope users. I have come across several products (e.g. ExternalFile) for keeping files in the local filesystem. I was wondering about the wisdom of keeping objects, such as images, dtml documents, and page templates, in the local filesystem. On the face of it, it seems like a good idea since tools like version control/management and backup software could manage the files directly. What do you see as the upsides and downsides? Thank you for your input. Best Regards, gyro

We do it this way (using CMF's "SkinTool") and are pleased with the approach. -- Dieter
