## Description

This class provides methods for requesting information about the UI capabilities of the source, and defines the expectations that apply to all sources - that they will provide RBEntryView and RhythmDBQueryModel objects, mostly.

Many of the methods on this class come in can_do_x and do_x pairs. When can_do_x always returns FALSE, the class does not need to implement the do_x method.

Useful subclasses include RBBrowserSource, which includes a RBLibraryBrowser and takes care of constructing an RBEntryView too; RBRemovableMediaSource, which takes care of many aspects of implementing a source that represents a removable device; and RBPlaylistSource, which provides functionality for playlist-like sources.

## Property Details

### The `"base-query-model"` property

      "base-query-model"         RhythmDBQueryModel*   : Read

The unfiltered query model for the source, containing all entries in the source. Source classes should override this if they perform filtering based on the search box or a browser.

### The `"entry-type"` property

      "entry-type"               RhythmDBEntryType*    : Read / Write / Construct Only

Entry type for entries in this source.

### The `"hidden-when-empty"` property

      "hidden-when-empty"        gboolean              : Read / Write

If TRUE, the source will not be displayed in the source list when it contains no entries.

Default value: FALSE

### The `"play-order"` property

      "play-order"               RBPlayOrder*          : Read

If the source provides its own play order, it can override this property.

### The `"query-model"` property

      "query-model"              RhythmDBQueryModel*   : Read / Write

The current query model for the source. This is used in various places, including the play order, to find the set of entries within the source.

### The `"settings"` property

      "settings"                 GSettings*            : Read / Write / Construct

The GSettings instance storing settings for the source. The instance must have a schema of org.gnome.Rhythmbox.Source.

### The `"show-browser"` property

      "show-browser"             gboolean              : Read / Write

Whether the browser widget for the source (if any) should be displayed. This should be overridden in sources that include a browser widget.

Default value: TRUE

### The `"toolbar-path"` property

      "toolbar-path"             gchar*                : Read / Write / Construct Only

UI manager path for a toolbar to display at the top of the source. The RBSource class doesn't actually display the toolbar anywhere. Adding the toolbar to a container is the responsibility of a subclass such as RBBrowserSource.

Default value: NULL

## Signal Details

### The `"filter-changed"` signal

    void                user_function                      (RBSource *source,
                                                            gpointer  user_data)      : Run Last

Fires when the user changes the filter, either by changing the contents of the search box or by selecting a different browser entry.

`source` : | the RBSource
`user_data` : | user data set when the signal handler was connected.
