Populating
Temporary Folders will populate themselves with exported objects based
on a directory in Zope's var directory. A directory named from the object

have the directory 'var/tempFolderImports' scanned for .zexp files.
The Zope administrator may copy exported files from Zope's var directory
into the Temporary Folder's Imports directory to have those items added
to the Temporary Folder then the Folder is mounted.
*N.B.* Because only the name (the ID) of the Temporary Folder is considered
for importing objects, two Temporary Folders with the same name will
be automatically populated with the same items, although each will receive
a private copy of those items.
