I made this basic test, which didn't show any ill effects when I made
an edit through the QSFPM:
from sys import argv, exit
from PyQt5.QtCore import QCoreApplication, QTimer, Qt
from PyQt5.QtCore import QSortFilterProxyModel, QStringListModel
app = QCoreApplication(argv)
def printRows(model):
for row in range(model.rowCount()):
print(model.data(model.index(row, 0), Qt.DisplayRole))
def test():
sourceModel = QStringListModel()
sourceModel.setStringList(['B', 'A', 'C'])
# QSFPM with dynamicSortFilter enabled
proxyModel = QSortFilterProxyModel()
proxyModel.setSourceModel(sourceModel)
proxyModel.sort(0)
print('sourceModel:')
printRows(sourceModel)
print('proxyModel before edit:')
printRows(proxyModel)
# Change the 'B' to an 'E' through the QSFPM
proxyModel.setData(proxyModel.index(1, 0), 'E')
print('proxyModel after edit:')
printRows(proxyModel)
app.quit()
QTimer.singleShot(0, test)
exit(app.exec_())
Result:
[estan@pyret ~]$ python test.py
sourceModel:
B
A
C
proxyModel before edit:
A
B
C
proxyModel after edit:
A
C
E
[estan@pyret ~]$
So either I'm misreading the docs, or my example is too simple.
Any ideas?
