Todo

This todo list reflects the current repository state and focuses on low-risk, high-value progress for a research workflow.

Cross-platform rendering (Phase 1 - COMPLETED)

✓ Created QualCompareCLI .NET 8 project for cross-platform batch rendering ✓ Implemented RenderConfig JSON schema matching WPF configuration ✓ Implemented BlenderRenderService with Blender argument construction ✓ Added JSON configuration file examples (Fibonacci, PLY voxel, Windows paths) ✓ Documented CLI in QualCompareCLI/README.md and README_dev.md

Phase 1 scope: Rendering only (no patchify), JSON configuration, cross-platform support.

High priority

  • execute and record the fresh-machine installer validation protocol in docs/installer_validation.md
  • publish the first installable 1.0.0 artifact from installer/qualcompare.iss
  • tag the repository state associated with the 1.0.0 release
  • document the exact Blender installation and Python dependency prerequisites for target users
  • preserve and document the current output folder conventions used by rendering and Patchify
  • reduce documentation drift by keeping docs aligned with code after each substantial change
  • clarify the expected dataset folder conventions for source and distorted content

Medium priority

  • move more rendering and orchestration logic out of MainWindow.xaml.cs without changing behavior
  • improve validation and error messages when Blender path or render script path is invalid
  • make source / distorted selection more robust than the current path-keyword heuristic
  • define a clearer installation and deployment workflow for lab machines
  • review whether ModelCsvFilePath is still required in the active workflow
  • document the exact role of legacy scripts such as render_with_csv_transforms.py
  • improve logging around cache prefetch, Blender failures, and output copy-back
  • decide whether user-config storage under %AppData%\QualCompare needs an explicit migration/versioning policy
  • Phase 2 (Cross-platform configuration unification):
    • [in progress] Extract render configuration to shared library (both GUI and CLI reference same schema)
    • [done] Implement WPF button to export current settings as JSON
    • [done] Add JSON configuration validation with detailed error messages
    • Implement configuration schema versioning for future migrations
  • Phase 3 (Patchify cross-platform):
    • [done] Port patchify C++ to CMake (native Linux/macOS builds)
    • [done] Create stable C API for patchify (replace C++/CLI dependency)
    • [done] Implement patchify CLI or library consumer
    • [done] Integrate patchify into QualCompareCLI

Backlog

  • add a proper settings window / onboarding flow for first launch
  • design a more formal dataset manifest or metadata layer
  • reduce coupling between folder naming conventions and downstream processing
  • evaluate whether render queue parallelism should become configurable from the active execution path
  • improve packaging / installer support for non-developer users
  • add clearer developer documentation for architecture, rendering, and patch extraction
  • review the long-term place of older experimental scripts and archive unused variants
  • consider testable seams around command construction and path generation logic
  • automate part of the installer smoke test workflow
