Jul 1, 2025July 2025 RimSort monthly summary: Delivered targeted UI and reliability improvements across the RimSort project, focusing on business value, usability, and maintainability. Key features enhanced include DPI-aware and multi-monitor window sizing to provide consistent layouts on high-DPI displays, a cross-version databases tab with reorganized database groups for easier version management, and a new Authentication settings tab to streamline secure access via GitHub and Rentry. A major UI lifecycle simplification was completed by removing GUIInfo usage and replacing it with showMaximized() across RuleEditor, Browser, and FileSearch, reducing state coupling and improving robustness. Panel and window size configuration updates were propagated from settings to core components (RunnerPanel, MissingDependenciesDialog, BaseModsPanel), ensuring predictable layouts. In addition, the month included focused investments in code quality and tests (mypy/pytestqt overrides and type hints), preparing for stronger type-safety and CI feedback.

Apr 1, 2025April 2025 (2025-04) RimSort/RimSort delivered a mix of feature delivery, reliability improvements, and developer experience work that drives business value. Key outcomes include enhanced search capabilities, a robust log reader for multi-source data, and improved data handling for ACF/Steam integrations, alongside UI simplifications and code-quality improvements to reduce maintenance risk. Notable items include an initial RapidFuzz-based search enhancement (added dependency and integration) that was rolled back to preserve stability, a comprehensive test-suite stabilization across dialogue, troubleshooting, utils, file search, and term matching, and a series of log-reading and ACF-related features that improve diagnostics and data fidelity. Compatibility and quality improvements (Ruff formatting, PySide6 downgrade, TYPE_CHECKING fixes) supported maintainability and release confidence.

Feb 1, 2025February 2025 (2025-02) – Performance Review Summary for RimSort/RimSort. The month focused on delivering cross-cutting UI and tooling improvements to enhance mod management reliability, streamline local mod workflows, and stabilize the rule editor, all while preserving cross-platform consistency and reducing manual steps for operators. Key features delivered: - PySide6 Dependency and Animation Handling Improvements: Updated PySide6 version requirements for consistency across operating systems and refined animation handling by changing QPropertyAnimation property type to QByteArray to improve robustness. - Steam Workshop Mod Status UI Enhancement: Added visual indicators for installed mods, extracted mod IDs from URLs, cross-checked against local metadata, and updated UI to show 'Already Installed' or a link to the mod page. - Mod Tooling and Repository Configuration Improvements: Fixed mod tooling configuration so todds targets workshop mods correctly and ensured repository paths are added to Git safe directories for configuration integrity. - Automatic Local Mods Folder Discovery and UI Simplification: Removed manual Mods path selection; automatically derive the local mods folder from the game folder (append '/Mods'); simplified UI and set the mods folder automatically. - Rule Editor Enhancements and Stability: Added tooltips, improved error messaging, and fixed crashes for column-specific editor behavior to improve usability and debugging. Major bugs fixed: - Corrected mod installation status indication in Steam Workshop UI to reliably reflect installed mods. - Fixed mod tooling path optimization issue where Steam mods were not being optimized as intended. - Improved crash handling and error logging in the rule editor, including column-specific editor failures. Overall impact and accomplishments: - Significantly improved cross-platform consistency and UI/UX robustness for mod management and configuration. - Reduced manual configuration steps and eliminated several local path discovery ambiguities, leading to faster onboarding and fewer misconfigurations. - Strengthened tooling reliability, with clearer user feedback and crash-resilient rule editing. Technologies/skills demonstrated: - PySide6, QPropertyAnimation, QByteArray, and general UI/UX engineering. - Python tooling for mod management, automation of local folders, and UI simplifications. - Git configuration hygiene (safe directories) and repository setup. - Enhanced error handling, logging, and tooltips to improve maintainability and debugging.
