App Management needs remote table model instead of simple table model about app-inventor-gallery

[cado]

Referencing this guide, http://manual.qooxdoo.org/1.5/pages/widget/table_remote_model.html, I may need an RPC that returns the row count from the database. The only way I can think of doing this with the currently exposed RPCs is to get the whole table and use the count from that, which defeats the purpose a bit. Unless I'm misunderstanding the purpose of the _loadRowCount function, which is entirely possible. Perhaps @derrell or @reedspool could clarify this for me?

Yes, you understand it perfectly. To use the remote model, you need two
remote requests: one to get the row count, and the other to retrieve a
specified set of rows.

Let's talk about what your specific needs are, and I or Reed will implement
it for you.
