Re: [Zope-dev] Cataloging LocalFS content

2000-05-30 Thread Jonothan Farr

 I think, cataloging "LocalFS" content would be nice.

 I have the following problems with it:

  1. "LocalFS" defines various meta types:
 "Local File System", "Local Directory" and "Local File".

 Only "Local File System" is a "true" meta type which
 should appear in the available objects list of ObjectManager's.

 However, I may well be useful, to select the others, too,
 in for "find" and cataloging.

This could be done, but my concern is that when changes are made to the file
system this will cause the catalog to be out of synch until you re-index. How
does this work with Zope objects? If you move or delete a Zope object that is
cataloged does it automatically update the catalog?


  2. ZCatalog uses "bobo_modification_time" in its meta table
 and for indexing. For "LocalFS" content, this is not
 the best modification time to use for indexing.

 It would be nice, if "bobo_modification_time" could somehow
 be synchronized with the object's modification time in the
 file system.

With the most recent version of LocalFS, the bobobase_modification_time should
be the same as the object's mtime in the file system. Please let me know the
details if you're seeing anything different.

Only if it is 'Catalog Aware', otherwise you'll have to update it manually.
In the case of LocalFS this will always be the only way.

[Zope-dev] Cataloging LocalFS content

2000-05-28 Thread Dieter Maurer

Dear Zopistas,

I think, cataloging "LocalFS" content would be nice.

I have the following problems with it:

 1. "LocalFS" defines various meta types:
"Local File System", "Local Directory" and "Local File".

Only "Local File System" is a "true" meta type which
should appear in the available objects list of ObjectManager's.

However, I may well be useful, to select the others, too,
in for "find" and cataloging.

 2. ZCatalog uses "bobo_modification_time" in its meta table
and for indexing. For "LocalFS" content, this is not
the best modification time to use for indexing.

It would be nice, if "bobo_modification_time" could somehow
be synchronized with the object's modification time in the
file system.


Can you give me some ideas how to best solve these problems.


Dieter
