Allow log window X to be reopened with the same actor, debug level, and other configuration that it had when it was last modified, as STUI does.

Synchronise the stages selected in the dropdown menu with the ones for the macro running. Disable the dropdown if the macro is running.

Right now if a user runs a HAL script other users don't see the progress. When a macro is running, select it in the dropdown menu and disable it.

Right now it seems the order is not ensured.

Grab TAI time from tcc show time or lcotcc show time and use it for all time outputting.

electron-store doesn't seem to be in development anymore, and we have seem some weird errors that we cannot completely reproduce.

lowdb seems like a popular alternative, but seems to be missing options like migrations.

Add the CommandStarted and CommandDone from STUI, for all users. Maybe show them in a bubble or with a different colour. Maybe group replies hierarchically?

Currently the snapshots text search is not working. There seems to be a PR, wojtekmaj/react-pdf#1531 that seems to solve that issue but it's still unmerged.

The stick to bottom still fails sometimes. Try with the updated version of react-virtuoso.

Using the albireox-upgrade-electron-28 branch I tried to run boson in development mode in xubuntu. I had some initial success, which required installing certain dependencies to make yarn install complete without errors. It seems at least some of these are needed

sudo apt install libpixman-1-dev
sudo apt install libcairo2 libcairo2-dev
brew install pkg-config cairo pango libpng jpeg giflib librsvg

in addition to Node 21 and yarn (npm install -g yarn). But then yarn start raises

So this really points to needing to get rid of electron-store (see #31).

Regardless, we should try to get boson to at least build in Linux, ideally also Windows, and be able to develop/run from source at least in Linux, and have some clear instructions about how to install in Ubuntu.

Right now after running yarn package, if one does yarn start we get

The DLL files are missing. Sit back while we build them for you with "npm run build-dll"

Running yarn postinstall by itself produces

 Webpack does not work with native dependencies.
react-pdf is a native dependency and should be installed inside of the "./release/app" folder.
 First, uninstall the packages from "./package.json":
npm uninstall your-package
 Then, instead of installing the package to the root "./package.json":
npm install your-package
 Install the package to "./release/app/package.json"
cd ./release/app && npm install your-package
 Read more about native dependencies at:
https://electron-react-boilerplate.js.org/docs/adding-dependencies/#module-structure

which seems to indicate that react-pdf should be moved to release/app, but then neither the development or production would work.

Modifying postinstall in package.json and removing the ts-node .erb/scripts/check-native-dep.js seems to fix the issue, but I'm not sure whether this would break something else, so for now I haven't committed that change.

Cut a number of versions removing features to isolate the one that's causing the crash:

• Remove Highcharts and plot windows.
• Do not use virtuoso.
• Remove pdfJS/Snapshots window.
• Remove guider/JS9.

The auto update design should look more like the standard macOS experience. I don't think there's a package to do that.

When an update is available retrieve and show the change log

Keep a list of skipped versions and do not offer the update for those except when checking for updates manually.

If no update is available, show something like.

(although the current dialog is not bad).

When installing an update, show a dialog with a progress bar and the option to cancel. When the download is complete, change the button to install and restart.

Automatically check for new version when Boson starts and then every 6 hours.

We are currently forcing code signing in PRs by forcing CSC_FOR_PULL_REQUEST: true in the publish.yml workflow. This raises the warning

There are serious security concerns with CSC_FOR_PULL_REQUEST=true (see the  CircleCI documentation (https://circleci.com/docs/1.0/fork-pr-builds/) for details)

Additionally I disabled Yarn's hardened mode with YARN_ENABLE_HARDENED_MODE: 0 which warns

➤ YN0000: Yarn detected that the current workflow is executed from a public pull request. For safety the hardened mode has been enabled.
➤ YN0000: It will prevent malicious lockfile manipulations, in exchange for a slower install time. You can opt-out if necessary; check our documentation for more details.

We should evaluate what's the actual risk here.

Use aspect ratio of 1.21 (800/660).

Allow to open a log window with certain predefined options.

It seems this is not working anymore.

Observers have requested having some form of sounds feedback in Boson. PR #28 tracks this implementation.

Needed features are:

• Allow to play sounds on certain events (error message, exposure completed, exposure failed, etc.)
• Create a library of sounds, both sound effects and live/generated voice that can be used for sound events.
• Allow three modes of operation: on in which all the defined sound events play a sounds, minimal in which only certain events play a sound (and always sound effects, not voices), and off where no sounds are played.
• Add a quick muted option with a shortcut to temporarily disable sounds (this is different from the off mode).
• Assign sounds to sound events and allow to change in configuration file.

More advanced features, not critical at the beginning are:

• In Preferences, allow users to select what sound effect / sound file is played on each sound event.
• Allow users to use sound files from their host system.
• Use text-to-speech to allow users to define sound effects from text (see here).

See electron-userland/electron-builder#5335

When the size of the window is small the header of the snapshots looses the search box and other buttons because neither the file name or the slider are resizable.

• Make the slider disappear if the window is too small.
• Allow ellipsis in the configuration name.

When doing arrow-up/down to navigate the command history, keep the cursor at the end of the line.

The CommabdButton components should be able to track if its command is running (maybe not always, but at least as an option). To do this it would need to monitor running tron commands and if the actor + verb match, then act as if the command is running (greyed out, spinning circle) and allow to stop the command.

This probably requires the main process sending notifications when the status of a running command changes and CommandButton listening to thoses events.

• Add options to not show key lines (options may be None, Only mine, All).
• Add option to highlight only CmdStarted and CmdDone for my commands.

Instead of a manual save window positions, just save them when quitting and restore from there.
