Hello everybody, Good news first:
My refactorisation did a huge step today by removing a huge performance lock. It doesn't mean that we don't have to optimize anymore but that this refactorisation will improve **a lot** the performances of GTG. Bad news: I discovered that our tagtree, that I didn't want to touch, was, in facto, completely broken. I mean, even the basic asumption in it were completely wrong (the get_path method was always giving an invalid path). I don't explain how but this remained hidden because of the way tasks were slowly added. With the refactorisation, it became apparent, thus more work for me. I also discovered that the browser was even more the heart of the application than previously thought. Did you know that the browser was responsible to inform tagstore and taskstore were tags and tasks were modified ? That tags were created in the browser ? That all filtering logic was in the browser. Instead of having a frontend showing a backend state, we had a frontend controlling a backend and displaying what it wanted. Conclusion: Each time I'm solving something, I discover something else, it makes progress really slow :-( Lionel _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~gtg-contributors Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~gtg-contributors More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
