## Includes

    #include <rb-library-browser.h>

## Description

This widget contains a set of RBPropertyViews backed by RhythmDBPropertyModels and constructs a chain of RhythmDBQueryModels to perform filtering of the entries in a source.

It operates on an input query model, containing the full set of entries that may be displayed in the source, and produces an output query model containing those entries that match the current selection.

When the selection in any of the property views changes, or when rb_library_browser_reset or rb_library_browser_set_selection are called to manipulate the selection, the query chain is rebuilt asynchronously to update the property views.

## Functions

### rb_library_browser_new ()

    RBLibraryBrowser *
    rb_library_browser_new (RhythmDB *db,
                            RhythmDBEntryType *entry_type);
