Use TaskBarItemInfo for current Sequence Progress

Issue #153 resolved
Stanley Dimant created an issue

Idea:

To quickly see the current progress of the Sequence the Icon in the Windows Taskbar could represent the current sequence state. With that state you could at a glance see what's going on with your sequence without having to tab into the application.

Improves upon:

  • Quality of Life of the User Experience
  • Sequencing Progress

Implementation hints:

  • https://stackoverflow.com/questions/5736955/using-the-taskbariteminfo-in-wpf-for-the-progress-bar-in-win-7-taskbar
  • ProgressValue displays the current state of the whole CaptureSequence
  • ProgressState can be used to show the current state of the sequence progress.
  • Indeterminate state: doing anything but sequencing (plate solving, meridian flip, autofocus…)
  • Normal state: sequence is running without issues
  • Error: sequence was cancelled because of some external issues
  • Paused: self-explanatory when pausing the sequence
  • Binding should be handled to the VM which handles the current Sequence State and thus can update the current progress of the sequence.

Risks:

  • None
