The first time I load the liststore (during program start), it loads quickly. Then I set sort column ID so that I can sort by column. When I clear the liststore and load the next data set, the treeview updates slowly even when it's actually the same dataset. If I substitute a simple sort function during loading, performance improves a bit. If I never set the sort column ID, performance improves even more. I conclude that it's the sort function that is retarding the update. If there were a way to turn off the sort, I would not have a problem. As it says in the documentation for TreeSortable:
Once a sort column ID has been set on a gtk.TreeModel...you cannot set the gtk.TreeModel to have no sort function. The inability to clear the sort function seems very unfortunate to me right now. I considered starting over with a new liststore, but doing so is inconvenient. Now I am considering loading the liststore with only some of the data initially and the rest on idle. But first I am hoping that someone will tell me that there actually is a way to turn off sort. -- Jeffrey Barish _______________________________________________ gtk-app-devel-list mailing list gtk-app-devel-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-app-devel-list
