- The API may face conflicts.. - eg. we cant impliment a method createFolder on the new API, because it is used in the old API. (although I dont thing there is a big problem with the API I mentioned, except for the factory method.)

There are two options here. One is to have methods like createFolder() be smart enough to call different internal functions based on their arguments (ie, if I get passed an object, do this, otherwise, do that). The other is to just suck it up and have slightly different function names - createFolderObject(), etc.

now i come again with this ... i saw that the VFS also works on sql, i was just having a short look, but do you think it makes sense basing some of the stuff on the tree-class? since i saw that the VFS saves something like folders and a tree structure i thought that the tree-clas might be useful there? or is it not useful here at all? btw the PEAR::Tree class also works on Arrays, Filesystem, XML-Files, and more(? i gotta have a look) -- Wolfram ... translating template engine .... http://sf.net/projects/simpletpl ... authentication system .... http://sf.net/projects/auth
