Thanks for the info, the KDE sessions and infinote sessions can get a little confusing :).

I haven’t added libinftext yet, until libnfinity is tested and working fully in the Kobby plugin.

Where can I find the code? I need this, the conventions in GTK text editors make me drive crazy.

Just to clarify: In the infinote API, the term “session” refers to an editing session of a single document (for example, InfSession only handles a single document). You can subscribe to as much sessions as you would like, though.

The directory tree in infinote is meant to be as you describe in option (a), because it is capable to contain hundreds of documents, and opening them all at once (or pretending to do this) could probably be rather confusing to the user (perhaps also depending on the user interface, I don’t know what you have in mind there).

This is how the current Gobby user interface looks like, in case you are interested: http://arbur.net/stuff/gobby-infinote.png.

I also had a quick look at your git repository: You will probably at least need the InfTextSession, InfTextBuffer and InfcBrowser classes to accomplish the things you described, which don’t seem to be in your repository yet.

B sounds easier to use, maybe it should just be the only method? Options suck.

(though you’re more familiar with the specifics, do what makes sense!)

I’ve been looking forward to this since I saw your GSoC proposal. Glad to know its going well.
