You actually can, although you have to add it to each entry view separately, and it won't show up in the column preferences. We could probably add a method to register new general columns or something. So you'll need to iterate over all the sources and call a add_my_column() function for each, and connect to the signal that gets emitted so new sources to call it then too. In the add_my_column() function, get the source's EntryView and then use the insert_column() function.

We don't have threading enabled in python currently, as no-one has given us a good reason to turn it on (it's not *hard*, but it's not trivial either). If you just want to get data in a non-blocking way, use gnomevfs as Tim suggests. > > Can it be store in the rhythmbox's database using python? > > This is a tricky one; I started looking at binding rhythmdb to Python, > but didn't finish it.

Unforunately we didn't bother to write the non-convenience ones :) I've got a half-written patch to fix this, hopefully I'll get it done soon. Cheers, James "Doc" Livingston -- You need only two tools. WD-40 and duct tape. If it doesn't move and it should, use WD-40. If it moves and shouldn't, use the tape. _______________________________________________ rhythmbox-devel mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/rhythmbox-devel
