space templates as 'Classes'

[fx3000se]

when you create a space using a space template the created space is not an "instance of" the template but a "copy of" it.
I.e. when you adopt the template afterwards this is not reflected in its "copies".
Wouldn't it be cool to have both options:
- copy of template
- instance of template
?

Hi,

instance of template

That leads to a lot of questions which answer may depend on each customer case.
For exemple : what should be done to instance if you delete a child space of the template ?

agree

Deleted too, just as if you deleted a member in a (Smalltalk) class. The developer must be aware of this! He could create a new class taking the old class as prototype ("copy of a template" ;-)).
