Well - in general, "do no harm..." - with files, it means "delete no information (it's trace material)..."; and this is not just in frameworks - if it's not in an obviously called place (e.g. /tmp), think carefully before deleting. For a framework, I think this is just good default principle: don't delete files, unless someone explicitly deletes them (oh - and if they want the framework to do it for them, be _sure_ they "said so!"). Hope that makes sense. - Yarko ... -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "web2py-users" group. To post to this group, send email to web...@googlegroups.com.
