Thanks for working on this! Didn't quite try it yet, just some early feedbacks from first glance

We'll also want to add this to the CI

https://github.com/tauri-apps/plugins-workspace/blob/v2/.github/workflows/test-rust.yml

[Kokoro2336]

Hi, sorry for being late! I've now apply all the suggestions to the plugin, please have a look at the changes!

[Kokoro2336]

@Legend-Master Hi, I've formatted the code and updated the branch. Please run the rest workflows for the branch.

[Kokoro2336]

@Legend-Master Sorry for forgetting to fix the broken lockfile. New commit has been submitted. Please run it again.

[Legend-Master]

There're still some reviews unresolved from #3131 (review)

And we'll also want to add this to the CI

Just a note that the audit CI fails are unrelated

[Legend-Master]

Add for the CI and change files (used to release plugins), you can take a look at #2019 and #2900

[Kokoro2336]

Suggestions in the review applied.

[Kokoro2336]

@Legend-Master But the audits in the CI failed. I've updated the dependencies in package.json, but it's confusing that the vulnerabilities are still detected.

Ok, I'm workling on it.

[Kokoro2336]

Now the apis seem working well. For add_recent_docment(), I still use SHAddToRecentDocs; For get_recent_document(), I use IApplicationDocumentList; For clear_recent_document(), I use IApplicationDestination.

[Kokoro2336]

@Legend-Master The AutomaticDestination directory is now correctly add/get/clear through the 3 apis.

If you want to test it on your pc, please run pnpm run tauri build and run the .exe directly, since dev mode can't register file exts. And you might need to manually set the api.exe as default handler of file exts since I didn't add it in tauri.config.json.

There is only one problem left: The jump list in GUI menu doesn't flush after cleaning, though getRecentDocument() return [] after clearRecentDocument().

I've tried ICustomDestinationList, but it doesn't work for the plugin. It's related to the explorer's caches, and from some researches, no other explicit apis are available to clear the cache. So we might have to leave it unresolved for now. But it's not a big deal, because the underlying database AutomaticDestination is updated as expected. The jump list will update when calling addRecentDocument() and will not when calling clearRecentDocument().

For now the best way to flush it is to manually turn off the "Show recommended files in Start, recent files in File Explorer, and items in Jump Lists" button and turn back on, which will destroy all the apps' jump list and reset 'em. And this is a user-side action, irrelevant to our implementaion :-/.

All the methods seem to work for me now, trying with the installed version and selecting it as the file association of a test extension (.tauri-test)

Didn't have any problems from my testing, maybe it's related to if the app's installed or not?

Anyways, good job! Let's document the behaviors and requirements

And we could also expose these methods on the rust side

The Mac implementation will need a review from either @FabianLars or @lucasfernog

Blame my machine. It's ok if it works on yours.

[Kokoro2336]

@FabianLars @lucasfernog Hi, now the new plugin is ready for testing on macos.

[Kokoro2336]

Sorry, I forgot to sign my commits. So I take a force push to resign it.

[Kokoro2336]

@Legend-Master @FabianLars Hey, just a simple test on macos, the APIs works as expected too.
