[Bug] If two folders have the same content, they act like if they were linked about angular-tree-control HOT 4 CLOSED

not really. The default equality function between nodes is looking at the node object members and compares them. We are not using the === operator to allow users to replace the tree data without closing all the tree.

However, you can replace the equality method easily, as it in the docs

I'm sorry I didn't get what you mean by allow users to replace the tree data without closing all the tree.
So I made it into plunker http://plnkr.co/edit/uaLV66Nuse70fv74vBfV?p=preview

Clicking all the buttons, expands all the folders, adds a folder and a file to the second folder, and replaces the Sub-Folder under folder one without closing the tree.

I might have got it wrong though.

The question here is a design decision - what makes two tree nodes the same? how do we determine if two nodes are identical?

The design decision we made is that a node is defined by it's data members (except for the children property), as it allows to replace the node instance with another instance that is equivalent - an important feature in some cases. This is by design and not a bug.

If that does not work for you, you can do one of two things -

1. add a unique id property to each node, like an integer or similar
2. replace the equality function of the node with the === operator, as in the example I have linked above.

Yeah I got ot it.
