Re: [Banshee-devel-list] Banshee interface question

[Patrick van Staveren <trick vanstaveren us>]

I'm sure this would be very closely affected by the list view change  
that is destined to happen.  However it would probably only take me a  
few hours of work to engineer the list view filtering into Banshee's  
view as it stands right now (as I've written everything else), and it  
shouldn't be _too_ much of a headache to port when the managed list  
view becomes a reality.

Sure, it's more work to write it now and then rewrite it in X months  
when the managed list view goes live, but I'd rather do the extra work  
to start testing and using such functionality now rather than waiting :)
