[Zope] Solution for copying a site

[Andy McKay]

"Detaching" sub objects from a folder for the purpose of say export is
something I would really like to do as well. If you figure this out (without
deleting and undeleting), let me know... :)

If all these photos are in one folder, is it possible to script a bunch of
export / imports excluding that folder?

Cheers.
