Sorry, I don't quite understand what you mean, can you elaborate? Thanks.

Rewrite the functional hint engine (functional hints will be the focus of later assignments and will continue to be optimized and adjusted)

* Include all table header fields in the scope of the search.
* The APP will automatically check for updates once when it starts, and the "Check for updates" icon on the toolbar will change if there is a new version, but there will be no annoying alert box.
* Windows version adds dependency libraries required by Windows 7.

* OSX 10.12 and below adds features to check for updates.

hi @ic005k long time no see.

first of all, thanks for the continuous update.

i want to report improvement fact.

 

1. Standardization of spacing space
Many plist editors and Apple plist tools use the same spacing.
But your tool still has different spacing.
In the past, I made a request for improvement.

 

2. Add your "Open source cross-platform OpenCore auxiliary tools" site.

we need to find search your app thread to report some improvement or something.

EDIT, I found Discussion area in ABOUT, i think it is better that moves to "Help" under

 

 

thanks in advance

Hi, nice to see you again.
First of all, there's no standard for this auto indent, that's just Apple's standard you're talking about. However, with enough time behind me, I would like to analyze and study the differences between Qt and Apple. You can also get involved, the Qt source code is here: https://download.qt.io/archive/qt/, you can definitely find the answer from the source code inside. But I don't have too much energy to do this at the moment.

Apple uses the tap method for spacing
Your app uses the spacing method of the spacebar.

One input of tap method is one wide space,
The spacebar has to be pressed several times to match the space of the tap.

This is the most fundamental difference.

 

thank you for update.!

* New: Automatic OC validation when opening files. If the opened file is not compatible with the current OC version, the OC validation icon on the toolbar will change, but there will be no disturbing alert box.
* Changed: Serialization of plist files using the Boost C++ library (this is not visible to the user, only the way the file is written has changed).
* Other fine tuning.
 

[ic005k]

20210328

* Changed: Redesigned the display window of OC Validation.
* New: Right-click menu "Search in Configuration File" in OC Validation window (select a keyword or part of a keyword to search).

Hello @Sherlocks,

 

Outputting tabbed plist can be problematic while editing with shell. Thats why clover & oc supplying patches for this bugs. Please stay away from tab characters ;>

* Optimize the flow logic of OC validation, when opening or saving a file, it will be validated and alerted by the change of toolbar icon.
* Re-adopt indentation with spaces when writing plist files, and no longer use TAB indentation afterwards, to adapt to shell and other editing environments. Space indentation is universally applicable and has the same spacing in any editor, such as vi or vscode, etc., which displays exactly the same effect.

* OC New: KeySkipFirstDelay
* Synchronous update of documents and database

Note: Currently OCAT has a well-designed data structure that, on the development side, can almost automatically adapt to the addition or deletion of OC profiles to achieve fast synchronization with OC iterations. In the future it may act like a generic editor where users can add or remove options themselves, including table fields.
