## Purpose
Simplify Installing and Configuring Khoj
## Details
- **Create Native Desktop Interface**
- **Add System Tray** to provide background interface for user to
- Open Search Interface
- Configure App
- **Create Configure Screen**
- Simplify configuring Khoj
- Specify content type to enable Khoj for
- Automatically show configure screen on First Run
- Manually invoke configure screen from System Tray
- **Wrap Khoj into a `.app` for MacOS** using `PyInstaller`
- Create pyinstaller `.spec` file using `Pyinstaller`
- Generate `.app` for MacOS using `pyinstaller Khoj.spec`
- Hopefully can get a `.exe` for Windows, `.deb` for Debians etc soon, once can check on an actual machine
- **Modularize Khoj** further
- Extract controllers/routes into a separate `routes.py` module
- Extract global, shared app state into a separate `state.py` module
- Extract configuration into a separate `configure.py` module
- Put Desktop Interface Qt Components under `interface/desktop`
Resolves#56
Conflicts:
- src/main.py
- router functions have moved to router
- move logic to handle null query perf timer variables into
router.py
- set main.py to current branch, not master
- If a user manually edits the input file lines, clicking start should
use that. Currently it just looks at the files selected last via file
browser
- We want to allow users to manually enter file paths in field. Which
is why the field hasn't been set to read-only
- Track current (saved/loaded) config separate from the new config (to
be written) when user clicks Start
- Fallback to using default config when no config for the specific
content type or processor is specified in khoj.yml
- Earlier were only loading default config on first run, not after
- Create Child CheckBox, LineEdit classes for Processor Widgets
- Create ProcessorType, similar to SearchType
- Track ProcessorType the widgets are associated with
- Simplify update, save, load of config based on type
- Update configuration to use by the backend, while app is running
- Trigger after user hits start button with their config.
The config gets written to khoj.yml file first, then the updated
config is loaded onto memory
- Decouple configuring backend from starting server.
Backend search and processors can be configured after the backend
server has started
- Set global state in main instead of in configure_server method.
This allows the app to start even if configure_server exits early in
the first run scenario, where no config available to configure server
- Now start server, even if no config, before GUI started in main
- This refactor of app startup flow will allow users to configure
backend using the configure screen after server start
- Only pass processor config arg required by configure_processor. Not
the unused full config object
- Type arguments passed to methods configure processors
- Import json for use by conversation processor to load logs
- Results get priority screen real estate
- Allows quick speed key based traversal of results as cursor
on switching to buffer is at top level heading
- E.g C-x o n n o 2 jumps to entry in actual file of second result
- Unlike before when it is at the #+STARTUP org buffer customization
settings
- Only allow adding files with appropriate file extension for each search type
- e.g .org for org-mode search, directory for image search
- Extract file paths added to config and enablement state of each search type
- This extracted state will be used to populate the khoj.yml config file
- Simplifies the configure screen layout and allows it to be of constant width
- It was buggy, the configure screen would dynamically expand but not
restore back to original size on disabling search type after enable
- Follow convention, two hyphens indicate variable private to library
- Defcustom are user configurable variables. So they should have single -
- Use khoj-results-count variable directly in code
- Make config_file an optional arg. It defaults to default khoj config dir
- Return args.config as None if no config_file explicitly passed by user
- Parent can use args.config = None as signal to trigger first run experience
