(simpler approach, but I guess this is visually _very ugly_ and<br>
counterintuitive for the user).<br>
<br>
In any case, I wouldn't want a row to change its appearance...<br>
<br>
So, what is the best option between the current behaviour and the "show<br>
all parents" (the first I presented)? I guess there is no general<br>
answer, but that the current is more intuitive for the programmer, and<br>
it is easier to workaround it if you need to (I guess that's what<br>
seahorse does, for instance).<br>
<br>
Still, a convenience method to switch from the current behaviour to the<br>
"show all parents" one would be a nice feature.<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>The more I'm thinking about, the more I'm scratching my head. In fact, as soon as you are using TreeModel with children, I cannot find any usecase were filters could be useful in their current shape.</div>
<div><br></div><div>Take for example a list of emails nested by convestation (gmail-like). If you do a search, you don't want a mail to be hidden if it matches the search but the parent is not. There should be some usecase were the current behaviour is useful but I fail to find one.</div>
<div><br></div><div><br></div><div>I've tried to take the problem in every possible way but I don't find any solution to not hide children with an hidden parent. All the examples I could find on the web are always for flat list. I suspect that the documentation is also written with flat lists in mind.</div>
<div><br></div><div><br></div><div>So, here's my question : how can you use filter with TreeModel if you are not flat ? Please don't tell me to rewrite my TreeModel. It's exactly what I wanted to avoid when I started this refactorisation : use GTK as it should be, separating the model from the view.</div>
<div><br></div><div>Thanks in advance,</div><div><br></div><div>Lionel</div><div><br></div><div>PS : this problem is really driving me crazy. I'm trying everything. I've even thought about making multiple filter with every child with an hidden parent being a VirtualRoot but I just don't find a solution.</div>
