Just another quick update. Started playing around with QSplitter to add a view of the "track sources" (eg. library, playlists, blah) to the UI:
http://picsharp.com/images/0b3gt1qam2vukhzf3fo.png I also discovered a few days ago that the QHeaderView class, which corresponds to the column headers in our new track table has these "saveState()" and "restoreState()" functions, which allow us to serialize it's column positions/sizes and sorting to a QByteArray. That means it'll hopefully be trivial for me to make all that stuff auto-save. I think that's been a feature request for ages. :) Albert On 13-Nov-08, at 4:14 AM, Ben Wheeler wrote: > On Mon, Nov 10, 2008 at 11:28:10PM -0800, Albert Santoni wrote: >> I've been plugging away at the library rewrite for a while now, and >> I've >> got parts of the basic library functionality reimplemented. > > I'm in awe of the amount of hard and good work you put into the > "un-sexy" jobs that no-one else wants to do!
