Well, as long as Slide gets its structural information and metadata not directly from the filesystem (there was some discussion on such a store recently), there's nothing you can do to achieve your goal. The problem (but feature, not bug ;o>) is that Slide stores information about which resources exist where separate from the actual resources. That means that if the MemoryStore (and any other store currently available, for that matter) doesn't know about the contents of the directory you symlink to - and it doesn't - those files/directories simply don't exist for Slide. So basically, your goal is not currently achievable without writing a custom store - that gets not only content, but also structural information and metadata from the filesystem. -chris _______________________________________________ /=/ cmlenz at gmx.de -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
