We discussed to remove the directory, because it is used only as internal information. This would to require to add the feature that also dirs can contain value/comment.
I would say not to add that now. The feature does not add much value to the user. It makes config files based systems (ini, filesys) a bit more complicated. And I am not very satisfied with the type system as a whole. But we did not really get a better solution up to now... I would suggest to split the type (key, link) and the custom type system (own user type). string or binary has nothing to do with both, it should be a flag (but could be on both sides). This would add the advantage that the user can modify his custom types, without doing nasty things in the real type (which can crash database? or at least make it impossible to write). Anything, whatever is done, it changes elektra a lot (even with just removing dir). thank you Markus Raab ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Using Tomcat but need to do more?
