Hi Uli, Not sure if you wanted to remove zope-dev from copy on purpose, but what we talk about below is probably of general interest...

I guess we could argue that whoever provides the zmi_views menu should provide a respective feature. > Oh, and I haven't found out yet, which package exactly normally provides > the zmi_views menu. Do you know it by any chance? I tried to locate it as well, but failed. What I could discover is that whichever distribution provides this will likely include a <menu id="zmi_views" ...> directive somewhere. Since you mentioned on the grok list that previous versions of grok could work with zope.file, then perhaps you can search the eggs/ directory for this directive. Good hunting, and please keep us informed.
