I'm not an expert of this, so bear with me. :-) You mean saving items into an SQL database and SELECT them on demand? If the database is on a disk (not RAM), wouldn't it be slow when the list is scrolled around due to the querying? If the database is in RAM, how is it different from the current implementation in terms of memory footprint? > > This abstraction would also make it easier for python and other > bindings, as it would be possible to walk "native" (python, perl...) > without actually converting the huge elm_genlist calls. > > hint: I created eina_accessor to help with such thing. > > > -- > Gustavo Sverzut Barbieri > http://profusion.mobi embedded systems > -------------------------------------- > MSN: barbi...@gmail.com > Skype: gsbarbieri > Mobile: +55 (19) 9225-2202 > -- brian ------------------ Cool-Karaoke - The smallest recording studio, in your palm, open-sourced http://cool-idea.com.tw/ iMaGiNaTiOn iS mOrE iMpOrTaNt tHaN kNoWlEdGe ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Throughout its 18-year history, RSA Conference consistently attracts the world's best and brightest in the field, creating opportunities for Conference attendees to learn about information security's most important issues through interactions with peers, luminaries and emerging and established companies. http://p.sf.net/sfu/rsaconf-dev2dev _______________________________________________ enlightenment-devel mailing list enlightenment-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/enlightenment-devel
