Changes in v1.3.0

Added

  • Fully featured Standalone WinUI 3 App with interactive Visual Charts (Pie/Bar/Donut/Sunburst) for deeper disk analysis!
  • Unified Installer features a flawless 1-click Clean Install mode, automatically purging old DLLs from %LOCALAPPDATA% to prevent version conflicts.
  • Completely separated and distinct display names for the Standalone App, Command Palette Extension, and PowerToys Run plugin to eliminate confusion.
  • Official Microsoft Store submission packaging and configuration for the Standalone App.

Changed

  • Upgraded the Core project and shared logic to .NET 10.0 for maximum performance and modern API support.
  • Extracted the shared core scanning engine into a perfectly synchronized standard, improving accuracy and maintainability.
  • Deeply cleaned the repository, permanently ignoring and removing old legacy build artifacts (e.g. /AppPackages, obj, bin).

Fixed

  • PowerToys Run AssemblyLoadContext bug completely resolved! Core logic is now natively compiled directly into the plugin instead of using ProjectReference, fixing all load failures.
  • Standalone App sizes and calculations rigorously synced with Windows Explorer to ensure accurate byte-for-byte size reporting.
  • Resolved hidden files straggler toggles in XAML and WPF; hidden system files are now properly counted and interactable.
  • Fixed severe junction point infinite loop bugs in the directory scanner.
  • Fixed mojibake text corruption in several source code files.
