[Qgis-developer] Better attribute table - c++ plugin

[a.neumann at carto.net]

Hi Martin,

Your plugin compiles fine and the speed is much better than the previous
standard-attribute table. Good work!

I have two remarks though:

1: I am not so sure if it is user-friendly to hide all "Actions" behind
the action button. It may be good for devices with small screens, but for
regular desktop-computers I think the previous solutions with
buttons/icons was more straight-forward. One could even think about more
functionality for future tables - and I think an extra toolbar for extra
table functionality wouldn't be too bad.

2: I tested with a Postgis table and your Beata table implementation did
not show a column with the Postgis data type "Numeric" correctly. It just
displayed a column with no header and all NULL values instead.

Should I add a bug-report to track regarding issue 2?

Thanks for your cool work,
Andreas

> don't support random access)
> - cursor in table independent from currently selected row
> - better usage of available space
