wslhub / wslmanager Goto Github PK

Some improvements

• Release ID can be changed into a string at any time. It would be better to compare the build number of OS version.
• Models directory should contains valid EF model class only; Constants definitions are not suitable on this namespace.
  • Also I need to add directory roadmap documentation file for future contributors.
• Duplicated implementations need to be consolidated into one implementation. Temporarily, I restored my original WslHelper class to resolve build errors.

Implement easy Ubuntu installation tool with wsl.exe --import command line and distributed WSL specific RootFS images from Canonical.

I don't want to compile from source, is there a release version?

Implement distro properties dialog

• Run distro dialog from standard menu, context menu, and Alt + DoubleClick action

Properties dialog will made up with multiple tab pages

• General tab
  • Show basic metadata and information
  • Calculate overall distro file size
• Users tab
  • Distro user list (regular user and system user)
• Details tab
  • All available properties will be displayed here in PropertyGrid view

Below channels might be considered

• Standard Installer (non-MSI)
• Portable USB version
• Chocolatey
• Scoop
• Winstall
• Microsoft Store

GitHub actions support .NET Core and Windows based desktop CI scenario.

• Remember last window position and size
• Remember last configuration of list view
• Also remember #4 related configuration items

Current version uses a timer to refresh distro list every 3 seconds in background. This looks not fluent, but it just works. However, there should be a good way better than this way.

• Create shortcut from standard distro selected menu
• Create shortcut from distro selected context menu
• Create shortcut by drag distro list view out to the file explorer
• Matching distro icon and lnk file

Implement network drive mapping feature (\wsl$\)

Add default application selection option in two categories

• Select default terminal to use
• Select default text editor to use

Currently, WslManager contains some library codes and monolithic codes which can be decoupled.

WinFormExtensions, CodeFirstForm, MVU related code

Considering #15, and to support the works of @visdauas, Windows Forms related codes needs to be decoupled and referenced as a public NuGet package.

MainForm.Features.*.cs

Considering #14, and to support the works of @visdauas, these partial code files needs to be refactored into interface and implementations.

I found some broken features. These features needs to be restored. It seems like these features were not supported or not implemented by PR #23.

• Feature_RunAsDistro
• Feature_SetAsDefaultDistro
• Feature_RunAsDistro

• Add a security warning dialog when load a tar-ball archive to import WSL distro.
  • Also, user can opt-out the warning message if want.
• When user drag .tar or tar.gz file into main window, automatically pops up a import window.

Sometimes WSL simply returns HRESULT error code like 0xFFFFFFFF when the WSL cannot run correctly. This needs to be checked.
