📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The changes convert the FillQuickAccessLinkNames method in Main.cs to a static method. In QuickAccessLinkSettings.xaml.cs, a static ClassName field is added for logging, and the logic for setting the quick access link type is updated to improve error handling and path type detection, with enhanced logging for invalid paths.

Learning: In Flow.Launcher.Core/Plugin/PluginManager.cs, when checking if a plugin is modified within the PluginManager class itself, prefer using the internal static PluginModified(string id) method directly rather than going through API.PluginModified() for better performance and architectural design.

🔇 Additional comments (5)

Plugins/Flow.Launcher.Plugin.Explorer/Main.cs (1)

100-100: LGTM: Appropriate conversion to static method.

The method only accesses static members (Settings.QuickAccessLinks), making this conversion to a static method logical and appropriate.

Plugins/Flow.Launcher.Plugin.Explorer/Views/QuickAccessLinkSettings.xaml.cs (4)

4-4: LGTM: Clean namespace usage.

Adding the System.IO using statement allows for cleaner code in the GetResultType method by removing the need for fully qualified names.

---

18-18: LGTM: Good logging practice.

The static readonly ClassName field provides a consistent way to identify the class in log messages, which is a good practice for debugging and monitoring.

---

33-37: LGTM: Improved automatic type detection.

The addition of automatic _accessLinkType determination when a path is selected enhances the user experience by automatically detecting whether the selected path is a file, folder, or volume.

---

196-216: LGTM: Enhanced error handling and code clarity.

The refactoring provides several improvements:

• Cleaner code by using the imported System.IO namespace
• Better error handling with logging when paths don't exist or are invalid
• Maintains backward compatibility by defaulting to ResultType.Folder

The error logging will help with debugging path-related issues.

Pull Request Overview

This PR ensures that the plugin correctly identifies whether a quick‐access link is a file, folder, or volume by simplifying and centralizing file system checks, and adds logging for unexpected paths. It also updates the legacy helper method to be static.

• Added a using System.IO; directive and replaced fully qualified IO calls.
• Introduced a ClassName constant and logs an error when a path fallback occurs.
• Changed FillQuickAccessLinkNames to a static method in Main.cs.

• [nitpick] Changing this method to static may break callers that expect an instance method or rely on instance state; verify all call sites and ensure no instance members are used inside.
