What you want to accomplish is not that easy. Here are some hints for your implementation:

  • Use a parent object filedata with child object filedata.line
  • filedata has a function field lines of type one2many (relation filedata.line)
  • The compute function then returns the lines which you currently want to return in function get_filenames
  • Keep in mind that the function is called every time you open the view (so performance could be poor with this approach)

Here is another approach:

  • Use only one model filedata
  • Put the logic of get_filenames into a Server Action which you call by clicking onto a menu item
  • The server action then deletes all current records of filedata and creates a new entry for every record with self.pool.get('filedata').create ...
  • This approach only computes on button-click and is much faster when only displaying the data

Hope this helps.

@Andreas Brueck i checked sale/sale.py but i didnt understand anything. Can you please explain it to me

Function fields are automatically updated after a button click. If would help if you post your code in your question.
