Did you consider a generic tree design? If so why did you reject it in favour of this one?
Just to refresh... The above is the most interesting and yet unanswered question about property tree for me. Am I missing something? Is this a silly question? Is it too trivial to answer?
This has actually been brought up a couple of times before if you search in the archives. A generic tree structure has been asked for numerous times. I realize boost::graph covers this, but it's very cumbersome when you just want a simple hierarchical tree structure. I think BGL doesn't allow easy (just rearrange the poiinters) splices of branches either. You have to copy the branch out of the graph, then delete it from the old graph. FWIW, the implementation by Adobe at http://opensource.adobe.com/classadobe_1_1forest.html seems to be a pretty good one. -Michael Fawcett
