SoftLimit: allow "show..." node to be auto-expanded when visible or soon visible #1041
Comments
Mickael, this would contradict the entire purpose of that feature to avoid showing ALL of provided elements at once. |
@mickaelistria , can you please explain how the described approach differs from a tree with a lazy content provider? |
This is something that was already discussed in #810 when discussing incremental expansion ("SoftLimit",
I hope and suspect we can find a way to avoid the |
@mickaelistria : do you plan to work on this ticket? |
Not immediately, but I think it's important to keep it tracked. |
Looks like this is being addressed in #1057 |
As a user, I would often not want to interact with the "Show ..." node. I don't mind how tree is rendered, incrementally or not, but I just want to to work smoothly. I typically either user arrows or scroll bar or mouse wheel to interact with it. When dealing with huge trees, this "show node" interrupts my usual workflow as I have to go select it.
I suggest that when using an incremental display, the viewer sets a listener on the tree to check whether the "show..." node is visible or soon visible (ie current last element on a branch is 5 or 10 items before "Show ..."), and when the listener detects that we're near showing this node, it does expand it automatically.
As a user, I would about never face this node. All the expansion happens as I use the tree without interacting with this new node.
