## Description

This class provides a predefined set of columns for displaying the common set of RhythmDBEntry properties, but also allows custom columns to be appended. The 'playing' column is always created as the first column in the tree view, displaying a playing or paused image next to the currently playing entry, and also an error image next to entries for which a playback error message has been set. Clicking on the error image opens a dialog displaying the full message.

All columns added to entry view columns should be expandable, or have a fixed minimum width set. Otherwise, the tree view must measure the contents of each row to assign sizes, which is very slow for large track lists. All the predefined column types handle this correctly.

The set of visible columns is controlled by a (single) GConf key, which contains a comma-delimited list of property names for which the associated columns are visible. The entry view object tracks this automatically.

If a GConf key for sorting is provided when constructing the entry view, it is watched and updated. The sort settings consist of a column name and an order (ascending or descending).

Predefined column types to use in RBEntryViews. Use rb_entry_view_append_column to add these to an entry view. The predefined column names map directly to the RhythmDBEntry properties the columns display.

`RB_ENTRY_VIEW_COL_TRACK_NUMBER` | the track number column
`RB_ENTRY_VIEW_COL_TITLE` | the title column
`RB_ENTRY_VIEW_COL_ARTIST` | the artist column
`RB_ENTRY_VIEW_COL_ALBUM` | the album column
`RB_ENTRY_VIEW_COL_GENRE` | the genre column
`RB_ENTRY_VIEW_COL_DURATION` | the duration column
`RB_ENTRY_VIEW_COL_QUALITY` | the quality (bitrate) column
`RB_ENTRY_VIEW_COL_RATING` | the rating column
`RB_ENTRY_VIEW_COL_PLAY_COUNT` | the play count column
`RB_ENTRY_VIEW_COL_YEAR` | the year (release date) column
`RB_ENTRY_VIEW_COL_LAST_PLAYED` | the last played time column
`RB_ENTRY_VIEW_COL_FIRST_SEEN` | the first seen (imported) column
`RB_ENTRY_VIEW_COL_LAST_SEEN` | the last seen column
`RB_ENTRY_VIEW_COL_LOCATION` | the location column
`RB_ENTRY_VIEW_COL_ERROR` | the error column

### rb_entry_view_new ()

    RBEntryView *       rb_entry_view_new                   (RhythmDB *db,
                                                             GObject *shell_player,
                                                             const char *sort_key,
                                                             gboolean is_drag_source,
                                                             gboolean is_drag_dest);

Creates a new entry view. If it makes sense to allow the user to drag entries from this entry view to other sources, `is_drag_source` should be TRUE. If it makes sense to allow the user to drag entries from other sources to this view, `is_drag_dest` should be TRUE. Drag and drop in this sense is used for two purposes: to transfer tracks between the filesystem and removable devices, and to add tracks to playlists.

`db` : | the RhythmDB instance
`shell_player` : | the RBShellPlayer instance
`sort_key` : | the GConf key controlling the sort order for the view
`is_drag_source` : | if TRUE, the view should act as a drag and drop data source
`is_drag_dest` : | if TRUE, the view should act as a drag and drop destination
Returns : | the new entry view

### rb_entry_view_append_column ()

    void                rb_entry_view_append_column         (RBEntryView *view,

Appends a predefined column type to the set of columns already present in the entry view. If `always_visible` is TRUE, the column will ignore the user's coulmn visibility settings and will always be visible. This should only be used when it is vital for the purpose of the source that the column be visible.

`view` : | a RBEntryView
`coltype` : | type of column to append
`always_visible` : | if TRUE, ignore the user's column visibility settings
