It seemed to me that it would make more sense to
separate tht two main tasks completely and have them
independent from each other in the program. So I
created a new MainForm that opens up either a
'Setup Display Profiles' or 'Setup Game Shortcuts'
window depending on what the user clicks.
The idea is that Display Profile setup only happens
when the app is first installed, and after that it's just
the game shortcut that gets updated.
Also created a first attempt at a new HeliosPlus Icon.
The icons were way too low res due to the use
of the built-in windows fileextracticon which only
extracts the 32x32 icon. This was making the list
of games look pretty bad. Fixed it now so it extracts
the PNG where possible. Also adjusted the extraction
so that the files are all extracted when the Shortcut form
is loaded.
Also fixed the commandline options that result in
a Steam game being run, so that they now work. Also
fixed up the names of the extracted icons and made the
suggested naming of the shortcut more reliable and
less likely to include usable characters.
The current Icon Library is old and I haven't been
using it properly :). I need to use something different
and the IconExtractor library is still being updated
whereas the IconLib.Unofficial isn't any longer.
Renamed app to HeliosPlus namespace so that the updated
changes don't interfere with HeliosDisplayManagement if
that is also installed. The fact that I've changed so much of
the app means that my changes would be unlikely to be
accepted by Soroush, so I'm best to release this work in a
similar way to other projects like Notepad++, by keeping
the same root name, and adding a plus.
I've also changed the Shortcut form to put all the games
in a single list to reduce the number of clicks a user has to
do in order for them to create a shortcut. I have begun to
prepare the form so that it will support multiple game
libraries, but now I am at a point that I need to fix the Steam
and Uplay game detection mechanisms so that they report
the correct information for the lv_games list view.
Migrated to the latest .Net Framework (v4.8) and changed to
System.CommandLine.DragonFruit for the parameter processing
as CommandLineParser completely altered their required
programme structure which meant something had to change.
Figured using Microsoft's own poduct would be best.
