Have an option to allow user to update Arvis app automatically. Also, optionally display release notes/changes after update has finished.

Expected Behavior

search window, large text window, clipboard history window is always transparent

Current Behavior

After closing chrome dev tool, transparency would be cleared up.

❗️ Roadmap

This issue shows future implementation plans.

Feel free to create any feature request comments.

🚀 To be implemented in short terms

• Support pdf display in quicklook (0.8.12)
• Resolve jopemachine-arvis/arvis-core#2 (0.10.0)

🔨 Long term goals

• Support snippet feature
• Support Universal action window

Deleting an installed plugin/workflow by clicking the trash can icon inside Preference window will lead to a blank Arvis window. Closing the blank window and re-opening Preference window will not fix it. Only after I quit Arvis app and re-run the app will the Preference window go back to normal.

Expected Behavior

Preferences window should never be blank.

Current Behavior

Deleting an installed plugin/workflow by clicking the trash can icon inside Preference window will lead to a blank Arvis window.

Steps to Reproduce (for bugs)

1. Click Arvis icon in the menu bar and select Preference

2. Select Plugins or Workflows on the left hand side of main Arvis window

3. Select an installed plugin or workflow and then click the trashcan icon at the bottom to delete the plugin or workflow

4. Arvis window will become blank

Context

• Node version : 14.17.6
• Arvis version, branch : 0.11.2
• Operating System and version : macOS Big Sur 11.6

In Alfred it is easy to navigate through the file system by typing full paths or folder names plus using the space and arrow keys. Also, upon locating a folder it will be nice to support certain actions like opening a terminal inside the folder, getting the folder size and permissions, etc. For files, actions like copy, move, rename, size, permissions, etc. will be very useful.

Expected Behavior

when arvis can not find the specified icon, error not occurs, just replace the icon with extension's default icon.

Current Behavior

when can not find the icon, get a lot of net::not found errors.

This a lot of errors can interferes with debugging.

By default, typing "activity monitor" (with or without quotes) in Arvis search bar in macOS could not find the standard "Activity Monitor" app located inside /Applications/Utilities folder. What was strange was the following default user-config entries for arvis-app-launcher-plugin shown inside Arvis Preference window. I thought the "deep: 3" key/value would enable Arvis to find "Activity Monitor" app inside "/Applications/Utilities" folder.

object {2}
applicationFolders {3}
win32 [1]
darwin [1]
0: /Applications
linux [5]
deep: 3

Expected Behavior

Typing "activity" or "monitor" in arvis search bar should list "Activity Monitor" app which comes pre-installed in macOS.

Current Behavior

"Activity Monitor" is not found or listed by arvis.

• Node version : 14.17.6
• Arvis version, branch : 0.12.0
• Operating System and version : macOS Big Sur (11.6.0)

Expected Behavior

Keydown event is triggered by all type of key down

Current Behavior

Only detect modifier key (cmd, ctrl, alt...).

Alphabet, number keys are not detected.

Possible Solution

I have no idea why this is happening.

Steps to Reproduce (for bugs)

1. Use iohook in Renderer process
2. It is working fine, but only detect modifier key (cmd, ctrl, alt...). alphabet, number key is not detected.
3. On other platforms, behavior is the same.

Expected Behavior

• only valid files should be watched.

Current Behavior

• In symlink folders, all files are watched and this could cause severe waste of system resources

Your Environment

• Node version : 12.20.2
• Operating System and version : macos

Note

followSymlink option is currently false.

followSymlink should be true when this issue is resolved because arvis-link generate symlink

After a user launches an app and while the focus is on the app's main window, the user can invoke Arvis and then Arvis can dynamically retrieve all available menu item names/descriptions (and perhaps also equivalent keyboard shortcuts) of the app. For example, in Visual Studio Code, there is a "New File" menu item and its keyboard shortcut is -N. Then the user can create a sequence of steps relatively easy inside Arvis by visually selecting a series of actions (including invoking a menu item like "New File" which may be displayed as [Visual Studio Code] -> New File (-N) inside Arvis.

For example, a sequence to comment out the current clipboard's content can be like invoking [Visual Studio Code] File -> New File (-N) followed by [Visual Studio Code] Edit -> Paste (-V) followed by [Visual Studio Code] Edit -> Toggle Block Comment (/) followed by [Visual Studio Code] Edit -> Copy (-C)

The above block commenting the clipboard's content can be achieved with scripting but not all users know how to write scripts. Letting the user visually pick and choose available menu items inside an application and chain the steps and save them for later use will be quite powerful.

There is a macOS app called Paletro that somehow can obtain the menu item names and keyboard shortcuts of multiple applications and show the commands to the user in a command palette.

Current Behavior

on Dev env, error occurs when dynamically set the attribute src in webview

Auto update, check update feature not working on macOS, linux

It seems this is related to app signing issue.

arvis did not receive an app sign on mac.

linux

It seems that electron-updater not support linux.

A lot of apps in macOS (or even Windows) can add new functions to the system by adding new entries (like Copy File, Move File, Compress/Extract File, etc.) to a "Services" (right-click) context menu in macOS (or a nameless pop-up menu in Windows). For example, in macOS Finder after I right-click on a .tar.gz file and select "Services ->" from the context menu I can see the following operations. It will be very useful if Arvis can allow users to use operations supplied by "Services" menu.

Add Selected Files to Yoink

By the way, Yoink is a third-party app.
