[bt-devel] Proposed change for BibleTime

[Gary Holmlund]

Jaak,

I would like to propose a significant change to BibleTime. It would 
allow a user to continuously scroll through a module. No chapter or book 
boundaries. This change would apply to all module types.

I have been prototyping this change in BibleTime for 3 weeks to ensure 
there are no insolvable problems. It looks quite good. It is the same 
technique used by BibleTime Mobile. It uses a Qt model/view instead of 
QWebEngine. Scrolling is quite smooth. I have forked BibleTime on github 
and pushed my changes to it so you can see for yourself. It is available 
at:

https://github.com/gholmlund/bibletime/tree/master

Checkout the mv2 branch.

It is implemented for the "read" windows. Most features are implemented. 
The main missing features now relate to the context menus (Find, copy, 
etc.). These are not a problem to finish. They just require some more 
time. Optionally we could eliminate all usage of QWebEngine by working 
on the MAG view, the personal commentary editing, the search dialog, the 
about dialog, etc. I wanted your approval before going any farther.

If you build the doxygen docs and look on the main page at the bottom, 
you will see a model/view link that will lead you through the new 
classes and how it works.

Gary
