Day 23

Hours worked/Total: 7/63

Day Recap

Implemented recursive tree regeneration for the TreeView control. Integrated filesystem change detection to automatically reflect changes in the app. Removed the horizontal scrollbar from the ScrollViewer for a cleaner UI.

What I Did

• Implemented recursive tree regeneration:
  
  • Now that I can capture the clicked item, I’ve integrated recursive regeneration of the tree structure.
  • Each click on a node triggers an update to load subnodes.
• Integrated filesystem change detection:
  • Set up a watcher to detect changes in the filesystem (e.g., added/deleted files).
  • When a change is detected, the app reflects those changes in real time within the TreeView.
• Removed horizontal scrollbar from ScrollViewer to make design more compact:
  •  Cleaned up the UI by removing unnecessary horizontal scrollbars in the sidebar.

Remarks

With the recursive regeneration, the TreeView now feels more dynamic and responsive. The lazy loading implementation and hashmap cleanup ensure better performance, especially for large folder structures.

The integration of filesystem change detection is a big win, as the app now reflects real-time updates, creating a more fluid experience for users.

Next Goals

Improve UI even more.
