Package: zope-btreefolder2 (1.0.2-3)

zope folder that can efficiently contain many objects

When you fill a Zope 2.x folder with too many objects, both Zope and your browser can get overwhelmed. Zope has to load and store a large folder object, and the browser has to render large HTML tables repeatedly. Zope 2.x can store a lot of objects, but it has trouble storing a lot of objects in a single standard Zope folder.

BTreeFolder2 solves this problem by storing the objects in Zope ZODB BTrees, structures that can hold numerous items without loading them all into memory at once, and by using more efficient HTML to render the folder's contents in the Zope management interface.

You, or other zope products, should be able to use a BTreeFolder2 anywhere you would normally use a standard Zope folder.
