Hi there, I’m writing this from my laptop since the PC is used right now, I hope the recording still looks smooth :)
I took a break for a few weeks; therefore, I don’t remember what the first few hours of this devlog went into, I recon I might have just fixed some bugs I found while using the app. Buuuuuuut I do know the latest feature I’ve been working on, right now it’s just a menu with the apps installed (almost all), and the target functionality is to be able to create multiple apps groups in which the app will either just pause or alert you with a message similar to the meeting overlay.
While implementing this new window, I learned about ObservableCollection and ListBoxs, which were new concepts to me, but I love how they nicely combine together. For the ObservableCollecton specifically, I created a new data model called InstalledApp, which has a Name, a ExePath and an Icon field.
After hitting random bugs, such as the view (an ListCollectionView) not being initialized fast enough, I finally got a bare-bones version working. It’s ugly, it’s messy, but I’m hitting the 10h mark and I have to write this devlog.
