Ok. I thought it was ugly.
So how should I proceed. Somehow I need to tell the underlying bufferview
that the inset has changed. That is, I'll have to call
BufferView::updateInset(Inset *, false)
The question is how?
Should I modify GCache::update from
void GCache::update(InsetGraphics const &);
to
void GCache::update(InsetGraphics const &, BufferView const *);
and store which BufferView the inset is to be found in. Only this won't work
when we have multiple BufferViews.
Alternatively, I should store the BufferView in the inset, but this also
seems very ugly.
I have _really_ no clue about this and I am rapidly running out of time to
fix it. Perhaps I'll just post a copy of what I have and let you play? As far
as I can see, this is the only show stopper left for asynchronous graphics
conversion.
