#16 v0.7.0 TODO

## Connections For downloading thumbnails it would be nice to have the ability to have multiple connections in one thread and use something like `select()` or `poll()` instead of having multiple threads. I did not found a solution for `python-requests`, but found `pycurl` which can do such a thing. - [ ] Replace `python-requests` with `pycurl` (`pycurl.CurlMulti()`). ## Core Currently many features are handled inside `views/*.py` or `models/*.py`. I like to move some of them to `core/*.py`. This will making tests for the overall features more easy and eventually the `core` module could be turned into a lib to be used by other UI/GUI projects. The list below is probably incomplete and will be updated in the future: - [ ] Instances filter. - [ ] Instance selecter (random instance). - [ ] All thread stuff (create `Qt` subclass in anything but `core` when needed, but keep core free of `Qt` stuff, so use the Python `threading` module). ## Threads Current implementations of the request threads have flaws, they are not safe. Surprisingly I did not encounter any problems yet on current releases but while developing the images branch I ran into issues which made them visible to me inside the code (locks are needed here and there). On releases v0.5 and v0.6 this may be an issue when a request is made and the connection settings are changed, but the timing has to be perfect. - [ ] Thread-safety ## Thumbnail support See https://notabug.org/CYBERDEViL/searx-qt/pulls/15
