I recently ported Cropper from gnomevfs to gio. While I like many of the changes made between them, one thing that appears to be starkly missing from gio is the ability to read progressively.
Under gnomevfs, I could get data in chunks as it was read, so I could feed it to PixbufLoader in chunks. In this way, I didn't have to wait for the entirety of a file before starting to load it. Under gio, I do not seem to be able to do this. From an interface standpoint, I would think I could use the stream from File.read() to do it, but I don't think it returns until the file is completely downloaded. ATM, I'm using read_async() instead, but it seems to do pretty much the same thing. Can anyone clarify this for me?
