plone.app.blob does not produce a blob option in the Add New menu

Hi
I am trying to install plone.app.blob Although I add it to my buildout and all seems to install well with no errors I do not get a blob option in the "Add new" dropdown menu. My procedure to obtain and start a plone instance with blob support is the following 1. Copy example buildout.cfg from plone.app.blob site http://plone.org/products/plone.app.blob 2. Copy bootpstrap.py from the same site 3. python bootstrap.py ./bin/buildout ./bin/instance fg 4. goto to instance create a plone site 5. go to the plone site "Add-on products" and install plone.app.blob just like the procedure says, no errors, just no option to add a blob object in the menu. I tried blob 1.0b5 and 1.0b6. The example buildout uses plone 3.1.7 with ZODB3 pinned to version 3.8.3, see below. I have also tried with plone 3.3.1 same result. Can anyone offer a reason for this.

I believe if you read the documentation you'll find that you need to run a profile or two to get what you desire. Also, you'll have the choice of replacing the existing file and image types to have blob support or adding the blob type you desire. Look at the product page and I think you'll find what you need.

/Plone/portal_catalog/Indexes/meta_type And you want to add more than
a few content types which come by default?

Hi
I think it is my misunderstanding off how it works. I checked the location specified in blob-storage and it seems that certain content-types are being stored externally. It is just that recently I watched one of the plone4artists screeencasts and it showed a blobfile as an option in the "Add new" pulldown menu in addition to the existing content-types file, image folder etc. So when I installed plone.app.blob I expected to see this in the menu. It seems though that all files of a particular content-type are stored externally as a blob. I thought you got the choice as too which files were stored as external blobs on a case by case basis.

We are not supporting this custom blobfile content type anymore, and recommend using plone.app.blob, as it will be shipping with Plone 4, and the default way of handling large files in Plone. > So when I installed plone.app.blob I expected to see this in the menu. > It seems though that all files of a particular content-type are stored > externally as a blob. I thought you got the choice as too which files > were stored as external blobs on a case by case basis. You can configure it to behave this way, but I think by default it replaces ATFile and ATImage with blob-aware versions using ATSchemaExtender.
