Historycopy is of course another thing. It works for all objects
but especially folders are a bit sensible if some subobjects
got renamed - thats why I dont support history copy on folders.


OK.

So, how's this coming? ;-)

You can check the principle with my old monkey-patch
proof of concept. Due to changes of the extensionclasses,
it only works with 2.7. I've got working code for 2.8
here, but I dont want to maintain it as monkey
patch anymore.

OK. I was aiming for a quick sprint to get some small changes into 2.9  
before release (ie. no actual code changes, just moving text and  
eliminating HappyTalk™ to make the interface usage clearer).



I got a small UI patch to have product icons in the add-dropdown
which turns out to reduce the mistakes on klicking on the wrong
product to add to a minimum. Maybe you like to include it too?

http://www.zope.org/Members/tino/PatchObjectManager-1.0/view

It could even get some improvements - grouping factories
by product could even help if the list is very long.

Just some thoughts.

Since 2.9 is delayed until Zope 3.2 is ready for beta 1 you could commit it
to the HEAD and 2.9 branch.

Fine. Is this yet part of the discussion yes, we want that or
well, if you cant hold it...? ;)

Some +1 on the matters could motivate :-)

1) Icons for add-dropdown list
2) History + History compare for all objects and more useable diff
