Sticky Directories |
|
Whenever a new file is created under a virtual directory it is ideally supposed to get zapped if it does not meet the criteria of the parent directory. This feature thoug h confirms to the spirit of the ORION filesystem but it beats the ultimate object of the filesytem. This is because once the file gets zapped the user then would have to hunt it down. Leaving our Hunter no work to do.
To solve this problem we introduce to concept of Sticky directories these are special directories which have an extra subquery in the Query part like "~OR Text parent like <dirname>". This clause in the query actually stops the zapping of newly created files from the sticky directory.
All new directories created on the view are by default sticky. The directories created by a DOV file creator are by default non-sticky hence other wise specified by the add as sticky option. |
