[opencms-dev] Question about siblings

[Pomegranate Software- Arash Kaffamanesh]

Hi,

/folder2/test.html

is still a sibling and siblings are still real files :-)
if you want to get the file as a non - sibling (as a new real file) you 
have to copy it as a new resource by selecting the option:

"Copy all resources, even siblings"

then it will create non- sibling as real files ;-)

The siblings have as you know always the same content but they could 
have different meta data (properties).

Best,
Arash
