Hi,
In writing contact-lookup-applet I've found some issues with the ebook
API:
e_book_async_get_book_view(...) doesn't allow me to specify the maximum
number of records, whereas e_book_get_book_view(...) does. Should the
async version be extended to take the extra argument? This looks like a
trivial patch to me.
ECardCursor has gone! I was planning on using it (or something similar)
in contact-lookup-applet to handle the case where the address book has
many contacts which match the typed name. It's not a common case, but
if I pointed my applet at a large LDAP server and typed "John",
e_book_get_contacts() could take some time to retrieve the data and
create the EContacts for the completion. I will be switching to
e_book_async_get_contacts() to reduce UI blocking, but this could still
involve creating a large lists of contacts. Is there a better way I've
missed?
Thanks,
Ross
