No, that's still not a viable answer, because it should be possible to make some kind of list of cases where it is expected not to work, so that you can try to see if this is one of the cases. The above answer however basically means "well, if it happens to work for you, then good luck, but it is actually a piece of unsupported crap that hasn't worked for years and that nobody is bothered to fix bugs in". Imagine if somebody tried to use ZPTs, and the answer to any question where you get errors from it is "well, then don't use it?" It's just not a viable answer. If it is the majoritys agreement that this answer is the best one, and that the refresh functionality should be looked at as something that may or may not work purely on luck, then I'll mark it as deprecated and up for removal in 2.10. Maybe we can start looking at the last non-integrated version of the software, because it worked much better, and again make it a standalone product? _______________________________________________ For more information about ZODB, see the ZODB Wiki: http://www.zope.org/Wikis/ZODB/ ZODB-Dev mailing list - ZODB-Dev@zope.org http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zodb-dev
