[Kde-pim] Propossal: Akonadi::Model::ItemCreateJob

[Stephen Kelly]

Hi,

You are correct. I misread your previous mail.

Here's another suggestion from me anyway attached.

The idea is that you create the item synchronously (not ideal) and watch the model somehow. When a new row is inserted, check if it represents the new item (same Id) in the correct collection. The same item could appear in multiple collections (virtual collections). If you get a match, select it in the view.

I didn't compile or test it, but I think it will work, and it won't require patching any of the models. I think it might be useful to have a generic ModelWatcher class anyway because I think we're going to hit more issues like this.

Do you think something like this would work in your case?

Be careful here. You can't use the id() of items you create and send to Akonadi. They don't have an id() until they come back through a signal. I'm not certain that's what you meant, but thought I'd make sure.

All the best,

Steve.
