[Bibdesk-develop] threaded IO

[Maxwell, A. R <ada...@pn...>]

Hi all,

I hacked in threaded file loading using the new parser over lunch 
today; it's cool to peg both CPUs on my G5 loading multiple files, and 
see the tableview populate (until you click an item in the tableview 
that's loading and it locks up).

Is this worth working on?  It will never work with libbtparse (the docs 
say it isn't thread safe), but it works fine with the new one, after 
making BibTeXParser an instantiable object.  The main hurdle seems to 
be drawing in BibDocument, and I should look at the newio branch again 
to see how Mike handled that.  Would BibDocument need to implement the 
NSLocking protocol for this to work properly?

later,
Adam
