I'd argue that it should not get features that aren't in Qt 4. This goes double for FolderListModel, which is still classified as a labs import and so has even lower forwards compatibility and maintenance requirements. So I'd say there's very little reason for any further development of that import in Qt 4 and therefore QtQuick1. -- Alan Alpert _______________________________________________ Development mailing list [email protected] http://lists.qt-project.org/mailman/listinfo/development
