Hello,
I am trying to asynchronously open and read a large text
file (20MB) into a GTK text buffer. I have been successful
at opening and reading the whole file at once, which is not
elegant.
Unfortunately, the problem arises when I try to open and
read the file 4096 bytes at a time. Not only does the whole
file fail to load into the GTK text buffer, gnomevfs also
spits out the following message several times at the
terminal:
(scribes:29700): libgnomevfs-WARNING **: Unknown job kind 9
Here is an excerpt of the troublesome code in question.
------------------------------------------------------------
# Basic File Information
file_info = gnomevfs.get_file_info(filename)
file_size = file_info.size
opt_size = file_info.io_block_size
# Perform some cleanups
def close_cb(*args):
pass
# Insert Text into a GTK Buffer
def read_cb():
txt_buffer.insert_at_cursor(buffer)
# Try to read files 4096 bytes at a time
def open_cb():
size = 0
# Problem Area
while size <= file_size:
handle.read(opt_size, read_cb)
size += opt_size
handle.close(close_cb)
# Open a file asynchronously
gnomevfs.async.open(filename, open_cb)
------------------------------------------------------------
Any help, suggestion and schooling is appreciated. I spent
the whole of yesterday trying to figure it out, before
eventually giving in. :-(
Thanks
