Flow.Launcher/App.xaml.cs (1)

301-319: Refactor to eliminate code duplication.

The callback logic for showing the plugin update window is duplicated between the initial plugin update check and the periodic timer check. Consider extracting this into a private method to follow the DRY principle.

+        private static void ShowPluginUpdateWindow(List<PluginUpdateInfo> plugins)
+        {
+            Current.Dispatcher.Invoke(() =>
+            {
+                var pluginUpdateWindow = new PluginUpdateWindow(plugins);
+                pluginUpdateWindow.ShowDialog();
+            });
+        }
+
         private static void AutoPluginUpdates()
         {
             _ = Task.Run(async () =>
             {
                 if (_settings.AutoUpdatePlugins)
                 {
                     // check plugin updates every 5 hour
                     var timer = new PeriodicTimer(TimeSpan.FromHours(5));
-                    await PluginInstaller.CheckForPluginUpdatesAsync((plugins) =>
-                    {
-                        Current.Dispatcher.Invoke(() =>
-                        {
-                            var pluginUpdateWindow = new PluginUpdateWindow(plugins);
-                            pluginUpdateWindow.ShowDialog();
-                        });
-                    });
+                    await PluginInstaller.CheckForPluginUpdatesAsync(ShowPluginUpdateWindow);

                     while (await timer.WaitForNextTickAsync())
                         // check updates on startup
-                        await PluginInstaller.CheckForPluginUpdatesAsync((plugins) =>
-                        {
-                            Current.Dispatcher.Invoke(() =>
-                            {
-                                var pluginUpdateWindow = new PluginUpdateWindow(plugins);
-                                pluginUpdateWindow.ShowDialog();
-                            });
-                        });
+                        await PluginInstaller.CheckForPluginUpdatesAsync(ShowPluginUpdateWindow);
                 }
             });
         }

116-123: LGTM! Consider consistency with dispatcher reference.

The implementation correctly handles the plugin update callback pattern. The logic is sound and properly marshals UI operations to the main thread.

Minor suggestion for consistency: Consider using Current.Dispatcher.Invoke to match the pattern used in App.xaml.cs, though both references are functionally equivalent.

Flow.Launcher/PluginUpdateWindow.xaml.cs (1)

18-37: LGTM! Well-implemented dynamic UI generation.

The constructor effectively creates the plugin selection interface:

  • Proper initialization of restart setting from user preferences
  • Dynamic checkbox creation with appropriate styling and spacing
  • Good use of Tag property for data association
  • Localized content using translation system
  • All plugins selected by default provides good UX

Minor suggestion: Consider extracting the checkbox creation into a helper method if this pattern is used elsewhere.

Learning: In Flow Launcher, when using Windows Forms dialogs (e.g., in `JsonRPCPluginSettings.cs`), path validation is enabled by default in `OpenFileDialog` and `FolderBrowserDialog`, preventing users from selecting invalid paths, but it's possible to opt out of this validation on individual dialogs.

Flow.Launcher/SettingPages/ViewModels/SettingsPanePluginStoreViewModel.cs (1)

5-5: LGTM!

The using directive is correctly added to support the dispatcher operations in the updated method.

Flow.Launcher/Languages/en.xaml (2)

240-240: LGTM! Text change reflects new selective update functionality.

The button text change from "Update all plugins" to "Update plugins" appropriately reflects that users can now select specific plugins to update rather than updating all plugins automatically.


242-242: LGTM! Well-structured localization strings for plugin update UI.

The new localization strings provide clear and appropriate messaging for the plugin update dialog functionality:

  • Success notification without restart requirement
  • Restart option labeling
  • Plugin checkbox content with version information
  • Validation message for no selection

All strings follow consistent formatting and provide good user experience.

Also applies to: 568-570

Flow.Launcher/PluginUpdateWindow.xaml (4)

1-16: LGTM! Well-structured modal window with proper theming support.

The window declaration follows WPF best practices:

  • Appropriate use of dynamic resources for theming support
  • Fixed width with dynamic height sizing for variable content
  • Proper modal dialog properties (Topmost, CenterScreen)
  • Clean namespace organization

17-25: LGTM! Proper window chrome and keyboard navigation support.

The window chrome and input bindings are well-implemented:

  • Custom window chrome maintains consistent styling with the application
  • Escape key binding provides intuitive dialog dismissal
  • Command binding pattern follows WPF best practices

26-87: LGTM! Well-organized content layout with proper constraints.

The main content area is effectively structured:

  • Grid layout provides clear separation between content and action areas
  • ScrollViewer with MaxHeight constraint prevents excessive window growth
  • Custom close button follows application styling patterns
  • Restart checkbox properly bound for two-way data binding
  • Visual separator provides clear UI organization

88-110: LGTM! Standard dialog button layout with proper styling.

The button area implementation follows dialog design conventions:

  • Clear visual separation with background and border styling
  • Standard button arrangement (Cancel, Primary Action)
  • Appropriate use of AccentButtonStyle for the primary Update button
  • Consistent sizing and spacing
  • Proper event handler references
Flow.Launcher/PluginUpdateWindow.xaml.cs (4)

11-16: LGTM! Clean class structure with proper dependency injection.

The class declaration follows good practices:

  • Clear property definitions for data binding
  • Proper dependency injection pattern for settings access
  • Appropriate data types for the plugin list and restart flag

39-57: LGTM! Robust event handlers with proper null checking.

The checkbox event handlers are well-implemented:

  • Modern pattern matching for type checking and null safety
  • Proper list management for selected plugins
  • Defensive programming with Contains checks
  • Clear and readable logic flow

59-63: LGTM! Standard dialog cancel implementation.

The cancel button handler follows dialog conventions:

  • Sets appropriate DialogResult for caller feedback
  • Clean window closure

65-83: LGTM! Proper validation and async handling.

The update and escape handlers are well-implemented:

  • User-friendly validation with localized error message
  • Appropriate fire-and-forget pattern for async update operation
  • Consistent DialogResult setting for caller feedback
  • Escape handler provides alternate cancel mechanism

The async call pattern is appropriate since the dialog closes immediately and the update operation continues in the background.

Flow.Launcher.Core/Plugin/PluginInstaller.cs (4)

284-289: LGTM! Clean separation of concerns.

The refactoring to accept a callback action instead of handling updates internally is a good design choice. It properly separates the update checking logic from the UI interaction, allowing different callers to handle plugin updates according to their context.


338-338: Correct callback invocation.

The method now properly delegates the update handling to the provided callback, passing the list of plugins with available updates.


343-395: Well-implemented async update method with proper success tracking.

The new UpdateAllPluginsAsync method is a significant improvement:

  • Concurrent plugin updates via Task.WhenAll improve performance
  • Success tracking with anyPluginSuccess ensures appropriate user feedback
  • The restart parameter provides flexibility for different UI contexts
  • Per-plugin error handling is preserved while still allowing other plugins to update

Note: The "updatebtn" on line 392 appears to be a translation key, not a spelling error.


472-482: Appropriate visibility change for UI integration.

Moving PluginUpdateInfo from private nested to public top-level is necessary for the new plugin update dialog to access this type. The record structure remains unchanged, maintaining compatibility.
