[opencms-dev] Question about siblings

[Yves Glodt]

Hello,

we just had a confusing experience with sibling and I have some questions to 
be sure we really understand how they work... :-)

Imagine I have a file called /folder1/test.html which is *no* sibling
Now I create /folder1/test2.html as a sibling of the previous, which gives me 
this:

/folder1/test.html <- real file
/folder1/test2.html <- sibling of the above

First, it's strange to see that both files, after I created the sibling, get 
the icon in the workspace with the little arrow, which makes both look like 
siblings, even, for my understanding, I have one "original" (test.html) and 
one "link" (test2.html) to it (much like symlinks known from linux)

Then, imagine I copy /folder1 to /folder2, telling that resources should be 
copied, and siblings should be created as siblings.

In my understanding, /folder2/test.html should then be a real file, and not a 
sibling, but in my case it *is* a sibling. when I edit it I 
edit /folder1/test.html as well... which is not what I want....

is this an expected behaviour?

I use OpenCms 7.0.4 with java 1.5.0.14 and tomcat 5.5.20 on debian etch.

regards,
Yves
