This was already discussed (--> mailing list archives). I (and others) find it more informative to get a feeling about the size of the index (rather than the number of indexed objects) in the overview. > - Indexes derived from UnIndex also store informations about objects >although they do > not index useful information. > ... > An optimised >version of UnIndex would > store only values evaluating to non-zero. It would essentially change the "number of indexed objects" (and make it a bit more informative when one is interested in the size of the index) ;-) You must be a bit careful with the "non-zero". Some indexes interpret (some) zero values in a special way, e.g. "DateRangeIndex". It interprets "None" as "no limit". However, I agree with you: at least when an object "o" does not define a value for index "i", then "i" should not index "o". I would also prefer when "None" would consistently means: I do not have a value (in the current context). But, this will interfere with some indexes. -- Dieter _______________________________________________ Zope-Dev maillist - Zope-Dev@zope.org http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-dev ** No cross posts or HTML encoding! ** (Related lists - http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-announce http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope )
