as i said.. it's a little unhappy with 102 million buttons. at times. if you scroll slowly it's happy to keep rumbling along indefnintiely. it takes a bit of a breather every now and again in locations. i'm tracking down why but it seems to be a nice little perfect storm of the right series of callbacks happening triggering more callbacks that trigger more callbacks that... well.. end up in an interesting state. :) > On Fri, 5 Aug 2011 04:15:04 -0700 > "Enlightenment SVN" <no-re...@enlightenment.org> wrote: > > > Log: > > factory.... working on it. but up and kicking. it's a little unhappy > > with the 102 million buttons i have in the scroller right now... when > > you scroll along, but... i'll work at it to make it work better. > > > > > > > > Author: raster > > Date: 2011-08-05 04:15:03 -0700 (Fri, 05 Aug 2011) > > New Revision: 62130 > > Trac: http://trac.enlightenment.org/e/changeset/62130 > > > > Added: > > trunk/elementary/src/bin/test_factory.c > > Modified: > > trunk/elementary/src/bin/Makefile.am trunk/elementary/src/bin/test.c > > trunk/elementary/src/lib/elm_factory.c > I'll admit that my actions upon seeing this commit were foolish.
