[opencms-dev] Question about siblings

[Jordi Martí]

Mmh, Yves... consider "siblings" as "brothers".

If one "real" boy has one brother... Both are brothers. And each one of them
is not more or less real than the other one. 

Same for siblings. If you make a sibling for a file, the other file is not
less real. Both are siblings each other. It doesn't matter which one was
first. Both are real files that share content and have different properties.
Simply that.

Asunto: [opencms-dev] Question about siblings

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
