Temporary Folders are Folders which are created out of memory, in such
the same way as a RAM disk, for example, which have their contents
- lost upon shutdown. To facilitate use of Temporary Folders, they have a
- mechanism whereby they automatically populate themselves upon startup.

Once created and mounted, Temporary Folders are regular Folder objects.
Mounting of the Temporary Folder happens automatically the first time
it is accessed.
-
- Populating
-
- Temporary Folders will populate themselves with exported objects based
- on a directory in Zope's var directory. A directory named from the object
- with 'Imports' appended to it is examined for files ending with the
- extension '.zexp'. Thus, a Temporary Folder named 'tempFolder' would
- have the directory 'var/tempFolderImports' scanned for .zexp files.
-
- The Zope administrator may copy exported files from Zope's var directory
- into the Temporary Folder's Imports directory to have those items added
- to the Temporary Folder then the Folder is mounted.
-
- *N.B.* Because only the name (the ID) of the Temporary Folder is considered
- for importing objects, two Temporary Folders with the same name will
- be automatically populated with the same items, although each will receive
- a private copy of those items.
