[Zope] Document Library: Changing Properties

[Steve Spicklemire]

Hi Jason,

	I don't know a thing about Document Library but you can probably 
acquire it (is it folderish?) It may have some special API for getting 
documents. You may need to inspect its source to find out. Assuming it's 
"folderish" you could do something like

for doc in context.myDocumentLibrary.objectValues():
	doc.manage_changeProperties(y=doc.x)

This will change *all* the objects in the folder "myDocumentLibrary". If 
you want to get only certain meta_types, you can pass in a list of 
meta_types that you want, e.g.,

for doc in context.myDocumentLibrary.objectValues('DTML Document'):
	doc.manage_changeProperties(y=doc.x)

anyway... good luck!
