04/23/2017, 10:09 PMdo you have a mechanism for updating a track item (not adding or removing to the list)? - c
carlw
04/23/2017, 10:09 PMsay, edit a track name - j
jchildress
04/23/2017, 10:10 PMi don't right now... currently i scan a directory for albums/tracks... load the albums in a datagrid... when the user double clicks one of the albums i move to the album screen and display the tracks/cover/name, etc... - j
jchildress
04/23/2017, 10:10 PMthe album has a set of tracks.... - j
jchildress
04/23/2017, 10:10 PMnow just need to play the track when it's selected/double clicked.. - c
carlw
04/23/2017, 10:13 PMwhat i've been doing (in javafx right now, not tornadofx) for the edit track name use case is updating a model element (say "updateTrack(Track t)") then firing an event which is read the the viewmodel(s) - c
carlw
04/23/2017, 10:14 PMex, open a modal, gather the new track name, call the model, fire a track event. read the track in whatever spawned the modal - j
jchildress
04/23/2017, 10:14 PMi'm still stuck with usingscope - c
carlw
04/23/2017, 10:14 PMwhat are you using scope for? - j
jchildress
04/23/2017, 10:14 PMto store my state... - j
jchildress
04/23/2017, 10:14 PMcurrent album, current track - c
carlw
04/23/2017, 10:15 PMcan you have >1 instance of your Stage? - j
jchildress
04/23/2017, 10:15 PMshouldn't - j
jchildress
04/23/2017, 10:15 PMor i don't want to - c
carlw
04/23/2017, 10:15 PMso there will be one and only one current album / track at any one time? - j
jchildress
04/23/2017, 10:15 PMcorrect - c
carlw
04/23/2017, 10:15 PMsounds like a singleton would work - j
jchildress
04/23/2017, 10:16 PMi hope to reach a point where you guys can check it out/review if you get time... - c
carlw
04/23/2017, 10:17 PMok. scope was meant to solve the problem of multiple instances. for example, if you can bring up multiple Stages showing different albums. then, each currentAlbum associated with a STage would be a different scope - c
carlw
04/23/2017, 10:17 PMand the entry / exit of the scope would be the Stage creation / destruction - j
jchildress
04/23/2017, 10:17 PMgot it.. not then how i am using it... - j
jchildress
04/23/2017, 10:17 PMi'm just using it to store the current set of albums, the current selected album/track - c
carlw
04/23/2017, 10:18 PMI'd just inject that all over the place as a singleton - j
jchildress
04/23/2017, 10:18 PMwould you put that in the/a controller? - j
jchildress
04/23/2017, 10:18 PMok - j
jchildress
04/23/2017, 10:18 PMgot it - c
carlw
04/23/2017, 10:18 PMcould be a Model. say many views were capable of changing the current track - c
carlw
04/23/2017, 10:18 PMthen fire a changed track event around
