[Sugar-devel] TreeView in Sugar

Hi,
working on a "ReckonPrimer"-activity we face a design issue, which seems
to be related to Sugars principles on GUI design, and we ask for your
opinion and your help.
# Sugar establishes the Journal as primary means to retrieve activities
and related data, thus replacing filebrowsers for good reasons.
# In the activity under construction we have a collection of 10 - 100
units (called exercises) with the following properties:
* each unit needs a line/row for representation (with several
parts/columns)
* the units can be grouped by the user (groups recursively nested)
* child rows of a group can be collapsed and expanded
Now two questions:
(1) The properties mentioned above suggest to represent a collection as
a kind of a filebrowser --- would this be in line with Sugars general
design principles ?
(2) If yes for (1), do we have to implement a TreeView from scratch
(p.214 ff in http://www.pygtk.org/pygtk2tutorial/index.html) --- or is
there already something similar available in Sugar, in some activity ?
Any suggestion, opinion, help is highly appreciated !
Walther
