Quick shot on integrating the suggestion from Uwe: - Reserve an OID from the ZODB storage, maybe create a 'shadow' object in the ZODB. - Use a directory that maintains a hard link to the real file with the oid as its name. Voila. Btw: This is a good bit like blob support works in ZODB. ;) Christian -- gocept gmbh & co. kg - forsterstraße 29 - 06112 halle/saale - germany www.gocept.com - [EMAIL PROTECTED] - phone +49 345 122 9889 7 - fax +49 345 122 9889 1 - zope and plone consulting and development
