I’m taking a survey of sorts. We are going to incorporate some external code (MIT license) into SMTK that subclasses QTableView to support multiple-row headers with column spanning. (I’ll paste a mockup below.) There are 4 classes in all (8 files) that I plan to add to `smtk/extension/qt`, but the original file names are a bit odd. Here are the original names along with what I have currently renamed them to. My “SMTK” names might be too generic and I am open to alternative suggestions.
| Original Name | Description | Proposed SMTK Name |
| --- | --- | --- |
| GridTableView | Subclass of QTableView | qtTableView |
| GridTableHeaderView | Subclass of QHeaderView | qtHeaderView |
| TableModel | Used by header view subclass | qtHeaderModel |
| TableModelItem | Used by header view subclass | qtHeaderModelItem |
And here’s a mockup for a potential “attribute table view”:

First of all - this looks great! In terms of class names, we might want to be a bit more descriptive:
qtHeaderModel → gtGridHeaderModel
qtHeaderModelItem → qtGridHeaderModelItem (or if it was a class defined within qtGridHeaderModel then it could just be ModelItem)
qtHeaderView → qtGridHeaderView
qtTableView → qtAdvanceTableView

+1 with one possible revision: could you live with `qtAdvancedTableView`? (Advance → Advanced)

The prototype looks great!
The proposed class names aren’t specific to attribute resources, but the classes are. Is it time to split+move `smtk/extension/qt` into `smtk/qt/attribute` and `smtk/qt/resource`?

Yep!

Actually they are not related to attributes at all. There needs to be a new qtView class that is derived from qtBaseAttributeView - this will be attribute related.
