[Zope] LocalFS

[Fred Yankowski]

Paul,

If you're specifically wanting to create Zope objects that provide a
view to individual uploaded files stored outside of the ZODB, you
might want to consider the ExtFile product.  Its function lies
somewhere between Image and LocalFS.  As I understand it, LocalFS
works on a directory basis, and uses certain heuristics on file
extensions to map files to Zope class instances.  With
ExtFile/ExtImage you have more explicit control over individual files.

In this case, you'd use manage_addExtImage() to create the ExtImage
object.
