Hi Kris,
so I tried to think how to reimplement epiphany completion using the new
api.
These are the issues I found ...
- There not seem to be a way to sort the completion entries apart keeping
them already sorted in the model.
In Epiphany we have two sources of data: bookmarks and history. They both
have already a tree model. The easier way to implement a completion model
would be to use your egg union model to merge them; but that would require
a way to sort them, similar to what treeview does.
I think this could be useful also for other apps, in all the cases in which
the model is shared by the autocompletion and another view.
- We have a second treeview in the autocompletion window, at the bottom,
that can contain entries like "Search on the web", similar to what mozilla
does. Unfortunately I cant think to a way to reimplement the same using
your api :/ And I see this is a very browser specific feature ...
Hope it's helpful.
Marco
