I've tried DirectoryStorage earlier and it works. Personally, I think a combination of the ZODB and FileSystemStorage is the best solution. With some modification of the image and file ATContentTypes you get storage of most objects in the ZODB, and large objects are stored outside of the ZODB, in files. I used Andreas Jung's FSS, which is available here ftp://ftp.zopyx.com/open-source/FSS.tar.gz for that purpose. -Morten _______________________________________________ Setup mailing list [email protected] http://lists.plone.org/mailman/listinfo/setup
