Re: music catalog overhaul (long)

It sounds like you have put a lot of thought and effort into the new
scheme. You do not mention the UI side of things that much. Will there
be any user visible changes to the way zinf works?

I have spent a small amount of time trying to port the "playlist" half
of the musicbrowser window to the new gtk TreeView control, and have
learnt quite a lot in the process.

It seems to me, that if we are to use the TreeView control for the
musiccatalog, and the playlist, then we may want to implement our own
GtkTreeModel for accessing musiccatalog/playlist data.

see http://developer.gnome.org/doc/API/2.0/gtk/GtkTreeModel.html

My current code tries to work in the same way as the old code by using
the generic GtkListStore, and is painfully slow in some cases (>2mins to
add 6000 tracks to a playlist)
