- Create Internationalization service that parses WPF XAML language files
- Load translations from main Languages/ folder and all plugin Languages/ folders
- Add LocalizeExtension markup extension and Translator helper for XAML/code
- Fix IPublicAPI.GetTranslation to use the i18n service for plugin context menus
- Update MainWindow to use localized placeholder text
- Add ActiveView enum to track Results vs ContextMenu view state
- Add ContextMenu ResultsViewModel and view switching logic
- Implement LoadContextMenuCommand using PluginManager.GetContextMenusForPlugin
- Add keyboard navigation: Shift+Enter/Right to open, Left/Escape to close
- Update SelectNextItem/SelectPrevItem to navigate appropriate list
- Update EscCommand to return from context menu before hiding
- Wrap each plugin query in Task.Run() to ensure synchronous plugin code
doesn't block the UI thread
- Show results progressively as each plugin completes using ConcurrentBag
- Update UI after each plugin returns instead of waiting for all plugins
- Use DynamicData SourceList with automatic sorting by score descending
- Add ReplaceResults() with EditDiff for minimal UI updates (reduces flickering)
- Keep previous results visible while typing until new results arrive
- Add ImageLoader with Windows Shell API (IShellItemImageFactory) for exe/ico icons
- Use AlphaFormat.Unpremul to correctly render transparent icons without white borders
- Query all plugins in parallel and merge/sort results globally
- Load settings from disk via FlowLauncherJsonStorage
- Initialize PluginManager and query plugins on text change
- Add minimal AvaloniaPublicAPI implementing IPublicAPI
- Execute plugin results on Enter key
- Add WPF framework reference for IPublicAPI compatibility
Create Flow.Launcher.Avalonia project as foundation for migrating from WPF to Avalonia UI framework.
Key components:
- MainWindow with query box and results list (matching WPF layout)
- ViewModels: MainViewModel, ResultsViewModel, ResultViewModel
- Themes/Base.axaml with converted styles from WPF
- FluentAvaloniaUI for Windows 11 styling
- References existing Core/Infrastructure/Plugin projects
The project builds and runs alongside the existing WPF application.
This is Phase 1 of the incremental migration approach.
Updated OpenShellPath to use Settings.ShellPath directory when prompting for a file path, ensuring the dialog opens in the relevant location instead of the editor path directory.
Added CheckIcoPathValidity to QueryHistory to set default icons for history items missing IcoPath, addressing legacy data issues. Integrated this check into MainViewModel's RefreshLastOpenedHistoryResults to guarantee icon validity before updating absolute paths.
