Goals for WriterClassic v11.0.0

[mf366-dev]

😮 Yup, you heard that right! WriterClassic v11.0.0 is coming. And you wouldn't have guessed what's gonna be added...

Appearence related goals

Goals related to how WriterClassic looks like.

• 😍 Applying the Sun Valley theme by rdbende (check him out)
• 🔠 Font Settings (you have always been able to change your font settings for the editor, but since Sun Valley is being applied, you'll now be able to change your window font settings too) CANCELLED

Plugin related goals

Goals related to how plugins can interact with WriterClassic and vice-versa.

Plugin Central related goals

• 🗒️Handle Duplicates (this feature lets users get rid of duplicated plugins - they can filter by Same Plugin, Same Plugin and Same Version or Same Files - afterwards, a window shows up asking you to select a duplicate case and handling it. After that, you can select which duplicates to keep and proceed to removal of others) CANCELLED

• 🔁 Update Plugin (updates the selected plugin - only if an update is available, of course) CANCELLED

Plugin development related goals

• 👂Listenners

Plugins can now run a function that listens to a WriterClassic function. It has 3 mandatory arguments (listen_target, call_func, file - always set to __file__!!!) and 1 optional argument (condition - set to True by default).

Basically, when WriterClassic then runs the listen target, it runs the call function alongside (only if the condition argument equals True).

A WriterClassic function can only be listenned to 25 times.

• ❎ Prevent Circular Listenning (prevent a plugin from trying to use listen target and call func as the same function)

• 🎙️ is_being_listenned() (lets the plugin verify if a function is already being listenned by the very same plugin)

• 📖 Call History (this tracks which WriterClassic functions have been called since WriterClassic was open - note this does not keep track of when they were run - only if they have been)

• 📞 has_been_called() (this verifies if a WriterClassic function has been called - uses the Call History)

Performance related goals

• 🏃 Performance Center (in this center, you can turn on/off or clear both Listenners or Calling History - this function cannot be listenned to or tracked by the Calling History)

Miscellaneous goals

• 🐰 Easter Eggs (maybe????)

Documentation goals

• 🛠️ Fix it

See you in WriterClassic v11.0.0. 👋
