“Handling large amount of text in QML”

  Lightning talk by Shantanu Tushar

Abstract

Showing a large amount of text is a common problem for certain types of applications (IM apps, for example). Generally one will start by using a TextArea for this – which works fine but does not really scale once you are handling hundreds of thousands of lines of text. Lets discover if there is a better way of handling large (virtually unlimited) amount of text in QML.
