hi, I'm trying to build a filesystem like folder tree on appengine python but I'm not sure about the architecture of the app.
lets say i have folders and images. folders can contain other folders and images. building the relationship is not the problem because every entity will have a StringListProperty with all the keys to the folders it belongs. the folders will have a path which lets me know which folder contents to show on the site. like in a filesystem i would like to be able to rename a folder. if i rename a folder all child folders of that folder will have to change path too. is it possible to know a folders path based on its ancestors without writing the path into the folder entity and of course without fetching all folders in the path? i would like to avoid this because if i change a folders name on the root level i will need to do an update operation on all subfolders to change this path and if there will be for example 500+ subfolders in the tree it wont be an easy and quick operation. would love to hear your suggestions. thank you -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google App Engine" group.
