This is exactly what we do in the select names dialog. If you want to try this and need any help with it, let me know. Execpt as Dan pointed out we can't do this with the Folder lists (or the weather for that matter) because you can remove a parent but not want the children. iain

[Trimmed CC list] By the way, have you dealt with not being able to select parents in weather? My solution would be to switch to an ECellToggle with 3 pixmaps. The two checkboxes and an empty pixmap. Then you would have the model be smart about always returning the empty pixmap on parent

the RDF thing is an etable (in the code I have now on my laptop). But because it's a flat table, it can have both the checkboxes thing, and be reorderable. Still, I don't see a reason to change the current way. It works just fine, and I actually like our UI better. (I have played

I don't like the add button there's many cases in which it doesnt make sense, and if implemented with gtkclist, is very hard to do nicely. This can still be implemented with ETree. We could even write ETreeWithout so that the folders disappear from the tree once they're added to the

I'd rather have an interface where you click on folders and add them with an add button. That's simpler, doesn't require as much hackery, and (most importantly) allows you to re-order the folders in the summary. I don't like the add button there's many cases in which it
