That is too "clever" - if you're going to do this, be explicit: move the application to some "trash-can" folder. In any case, this does not address the point Jonothan brought up - about wanting to preserve application state (does everyone agree this is valid?). I think this is saying the best way to do this is use existing technolodgy, and use a versioning system. Massimo said he didn't want to include / depend on this with a distro, so perhaps optional functionality if you have it sepcified. I would pick one from a "crowd" - I think an important split is those that versoin directories, and those that version files. Directories versioned: SVN & bazaar; Files Versioned: mercurial & git; If there were plugins (gluon level?) for this, are there any things that would get in the way? I.e., if you have your test environment checked out from the mercurial repository, I think you cannot have applications have their own mercurial (is that correct?). ... just thinking out loud. - Yarko > > Now the app will "disappear" in the web2py interface. > > The app (and everything in the app directory) remain, but Will no > longer show up in web2py because the folder name contains a "-" > hyphen. > > You need to test, but might do the trick easily.
