Right - but I'm just starting out so I'm not as worried about incompatibilty on the disk. Over the wire (via propfind) this is neutral. I should out the same value for a property as I put in with proppatch - right? What I was hoping was that there was something in slide.properties where I could change the behavior. For a given server installation the behavior would/should be constant. If it can't be changed via configuration - I might look at modifying the code. Since I'm new I'm not sure exactly how to approach it - I'm hoping that I can add a new store on the back end with the behavior that I want. But if there is a simpler way to do this I'd appreciate any pointers. Thanks..
