Fast way to delete TreeItems? [message #452198]

Isn't there a fast way to dispose() TreeItems that are no longer
visible? Even when there are only a few hundred items, it takes several
seconds to dispose them after the parent is collapsed.

(I'm doing this to keep invisible items from hanging around in memory.
Otherwise, the user could easily build up thousands of unused items.
It's a file browser. Is this somehow a bad idea?)

For now, there is only TreeItem.dispose() and Tree.removeAll(). Perhaps
there should be a TreeItem.removeAll().

May I suggest removing items in a different thread? Now, I know that you
wouldn't be able to do it directly, because you can only update GUI
components from a UI thread, but you can use

display.asyncExec()

and slowly but surely remove whatever you need at no cost to interactivity
of your application.

Thanx,
