From Amarok Wiki
Mxcl: We actually hardly use XML currently, only for loading the data into the listview, never anywhere else. The XML objects are deleted straight after loading the data. This idea is interesting but then you are turning amaroK into iTunes aren't you?
- I don't think its being suggested that amaroK changes much in the way of functionality. Really its not saying to swtich from XML, but to switch from using qlistview and associated data structures to use SQL. We'd perhaps gain performance gains from doin so. Apparently Qt 4 addresses the problems of qlistview though. --Eean 14:43, 23 May 2005 (EDT)
- I've decited to wait for qt4 and then make a look at speed/memory issues with the playlist because of non acceptance of my idea by developers. Hmm there's also work to do with the code which runs on song switching(bad idea to use html/javascript) ;) But what do you think about the image idea?(use image for better recognizing of playlists) --Elwe
