I investigated .NET MAUI long enough yesterday to verify that it’s too much hassle at this time. The project framework — keeping all the code in one base in one IDE on Windows — is handy, but a lot more hassle up front which would slow down an actual release of a Windows Desktop version for the thousands of people who already use Replicator in favor of running on new platforms. The thing to do: Keep MAUI in mind while continuing as before.
Today:
- Build a working model of the console app
- should return results as though files are being copied
- results reported through the standard text streams (stdout, stderr)
- Launch console app Thread.Process from UI app
- consume stdout, stderr asynchronously
- display progress to UI in real time
And that’s it, the Morning Stand Up meeting for Saturday, April 5th, 2025.
