Hi Meilof,
The subscription dialog display for the NNTP backend is now working (actual subscription should be almost ready now), and its performance is also quite relieving to me; I did think it would be nice though to have
Sweet, good work.
the newsgroups sorted in the subscription list - my ISP's newsserver has hundreds of top-level groups, so finding the one you need can be a bit irritating). Is that something I should care of myself when returning from get_folder_info, or should that be implemented in the subscription editor, or shouldn't it be implemented at all?
It could be implemented in the subscription editor ... probably should be. I think its just a matter of adding a sorting criteria to the gtktreeview.
But you could probably sort in the nntp backend as well, at least in a non-locale dependent order, just so that values come back in some consistent order.
