Hello, Just to keep you informed about progress on https://code.edge.launchpad.net/~gtg/gtg/gtg-refactor
Now, tasks and tags are both TreeNode objects. Children/parents relationship are now handled in tree.py, not anymore in task.py/tag.py. Both the datastore and tagstore hold a "Tree" object that contains directly the TreeNodes. Those trees are also used directly by Gtk.Treeview via tasktree.py/tagtree.py. - What does it means ? It means that any modification to the datastore should be immediatly apparent in the browser. No need for refresh or rebuild a "tree of the current view" at each refresh. We expect a "dramatic" improvement in the performances for large tree of tasks. We also expect a better maintenability by removing a lot of useless code. - What's the status ? All the major backyard work has been done now. It's time to debug. I'm currently stucks since hours in a pit. That's why I'm writing this email. - What's the roadmap ? 1) solve the major bugs right now. (why are some tasks displayed twice ? Why are the children not displayed at start ?) 2) implement the "filters" (active tasks/closed tasks/workview/only tags) 3) merge with trunk early to have feedback and avoid too much divergence 4) add support for tasks with multiple parents. Hopefully, this should be done for the end of the month. Once it's finished, I will work non-stop on backends. I plan to deliver backend in Trunk before end of March but it will be possible only if this refactorisation is finished. - How can I make this happen sooner ? 1) read gtk doc about genericTreeModel and try to understand why browser/tasktree.py is not working as expected. Having multiple minds on it would be a great hand. 2) writing test. Yes, this would be invaluable :-) As soon as this is finish, I will dedicate all my time to backends (yes, I will even filter out gtg bugs mails).
