This proposes a *new method* on IObservatoryCore: `SetGridItems(worker, items)` which does 2 things:
* Clears the grid
* Adds the given items.
Effectively replaces the entire content of the grid -- which is something a handful of plugins now do.
Why add this when you could just call Core's Clear + AddGridItems methods?? So it can all be done within the same rendering suppression "scope" to reduce flickering and increase rendering speed. Speaking of rendering suppression, I have implemented such rendering suppression "scope" which uses Listview's built-in Begin/EndUpdate() in combination with temporary removal of the sort comparer (as is done for read-alls). This was also applied to the existing AddGridItems(worker, items) method as well, addressing a TODO.
For plugin developers: Adds a new method to the IObservatoryCore interface to add multiple grid items in 1 call -- which only invokes the UI thread once (and potentially only scrolls to bottom once) providing a small performance improvement and providing some modest convenience.
* Expose core error logger to plugins and report custom criteria errors
Fixes#77
This adds an error logging method on the IObservatoryCore interface that writes the exception details to ObservatoryCore's central error log (found in `${Documents}/ObservatoryErrorLog.txt`). In addition, added a timestamp to each error log.
Also updates the Explorer to report Custom Criteria file load errors and execution errors to the log. Also updates HeraldNotifier to report CacheIndex.json parse failures to the error log as well.
* Expand debugging/error logging in Herald; cleanup empty mp3 files
Herald crashes if attempting to play 0-byte mp3s so if detected, delete, re-request (empty files can occur in some azure failure cases (ie. out of quota). Trap and log errors in other places in HeraldQueue to avoid hard crashes due to weird and wonderful unexpected stuff.
* Add speech rate setting
* Add volume slider
* New speech manager skeleton
* User API key from resx
* Implement voice list retrieve via new api
* Rewrite to use ObAPI, remove all dependancies
* Use volume setting
* Clean up using statements
* Volume and timing adjustments
* Lookup rate value
* Use numeric rates for tighter spread
* Manage plugin data folder via core interface
* Add check that nullable settings are not null.
* Get file size before it's deleted.
* Improve old settings migration.
* Ignore cache sizes below 1MB
* Re-index orphaned files in cache, purge legacy wav files.
* Call top level error logging for native voice exception.
* Async title and detail requests to remove pause
* Remove NetCoreAudio use of temp files.
* Remove orphan using.
* Add event-based LogMonitor state changes to better handle batch reads
Pre-reading hackily used read-all to suppress notifications. But that broke some assumptions about what read-all meant. Furthermore, the Core UI told plugins about read-all rather than the log monitor telling them -- which is really what should be telling them.
To address these concerns, LogMonitor now provides an event that both the PluginCore and PluginEventHandler listens to or tracking logging state allowing more granular information about the activities of LogMonitor, including distinguishing between ReadAll and Pre-read batches. Plugins no longer need to track if LogMonitor is in batch-read mode or not -- PluginCore now provides it.
I've also converted all built-in plugins to use the new event-based system. The old system is marked deprecated and will go away once other known contributed plugins have converted to the new system.
* Change LogMonitorState enum to [Flags], drop 'None' state
As requested, and did associated simplifications and cleanup that followed.
* WIP: initial commit for observatory herald
* Plugin error handling refactor
* make error window non-modal
* tidy up plugin error handling
* first pass for basic herald functionality
* corrections for linux env
* Use FNV hash directly instead of managing through dictionary/index file
* resolve audio queuing issue, switch to personal NetCoreAudio fork
* merge cleanup
* add enable setting, populate defaults
* framework xml doc update
* Adjust settings, add style selection, replace locale with demonym in dropdown list.
* Test is position is on screen before saving/loading.
* use a default that's actually in the list
* chore: move all observatory repos to core
* only save journal folder on change, don't constantly re-check during monitoring
* chore: monorepo project changes
* chore: monorepo migration
