09:48 < conseo> mcallan: gwt has a pager for the list, https://google-web-toolkit.googlecode.com/svn/javadoc/2.4/com/google/gwt/user/cellview/client/SimplePager.html but i have to think about the problem more
09:48 < conseo> it is maybe too much
10:03 < conseo> it is supposed to control the celllist model
12:43 < mcallan> right, not sure either.  i guess the model contains a buffer.  that's the crucial thing.  the buffer has an adequate (but not too large) size.  initially, or after the contraints (filters, limits) on the contents change, the buffer may be un-full.  the job of the model is to fill it
13:00 < conseo> and it has to adjust to resizing, right? because the pager models a fixed stepping
13:01 < mcallan> i think size is a property of the view, not the model.  the model's buffer would normally have a fixed size
13:02 < mcallan> different views could have different strategies for deal with the excess, such as clipping (overflow) vs. scrolling
14:56 < conseo> you are right
14:59 < conseo> mcallan: but you suppose the view to be overflowing, not fixed element width, right?
15:58 < mcallan> contents overflow, yes.  here the overflow is on the right side, and it's 'hidden': http://zelea.com/project/votorola/s/gwt/stage/_/mock/home-1.xht
15:59 < mcallan> here there is no overflow, only because there is not enough content: http://zelea.com/project/votorola/s/gwt/stage/_/mock/diff-1.xht
16:41 < conseo> mcallan: and what happens to older posts which are overflown? can you access them like in the pager or are they just hidden?
17:20 < mcallan> easiest is hidden, ofc
17:21 < mcallan> (but not too hard to add a pager or scroller in future, if it's really needed)
20:02 < conseo> mcallan: do you know this tool? looks pretty heavily used (if it is not faked): https://www.google.com/moderator/ written in gwt as one of its example apps
20:08 < mcallan> yes, it's been around for years.  in fact it's been years since i last heard of it
20:09 < mcallan> (maybe heavily used in some sense, but not widely)
20:12 < conseo> its also not opensource as it seems
22:29 < conseo> gn8
22:40 < mcallan> n8 c
