[Zope-CMF] Problem adding Portal Images programatically

[Florent Guillaume]

Speaking about invokeFactory, I wanted to mention a little bug:
constructInstance builds the object by calling the factory method (or
the script), then sets the portal_type using _setPortalTypeName. But it
never reindexes the object, which means that this portal_type is not
catalogged until the next object edition (usually). This is a problem
for me because I have a site where I do a lot of searches on
portal_type.

Would a "ob.reindexObject()" at the end of constructContent be an
acceptable patch ?
