Kirill Osenkov@khalidabuhakmeh what’s the UI framework? Avalonia?
Dr. Friedrich von Never
bitbonk@fornever @KirillOsenkov Any chance dotPeek is joining them any time soon?
@bitbonk We are discussing this internally, but no promises yet. This would be a major endeavor.
You see, in the profilers, most of the UI code is either homemade chart controls or normal BOL app stuff (like tab controls, buttons, various popup menus, you name it). And the backing code is, of course, already portable (since it already works in Rider and console tools).
dotPeek, on the other hand, has a major dependency on a feature-rich 3rd-party text editor control (even while it is readonly)
@bitbonk While my personal preliminary opinion is that AvalonEdit is ready to serve as a cross-platform replacement of that control, it'll be a lot of error-prone work to replace it in dotPeek.
So, for now my recommendation would be to stick with the part of dotPeek that's available in Rider (the Assemblies View). We have some certain plans of developing that one further, e.g. introducing the assembly diff feature that's recently landed into dotPeek.
@fornever I see, right, a text edit control for code is always a complex thing.
What I used #dotPeek a lot for on Windows is for doubleclicking DLLs in Explorer or Total Commander to quickly look inside.
On Windows, the nuget package explorer was the default app for `.nupkg` and dotPeek for `.dll` files.
I really miss these features on #macOS
@bitbonk I think it should be possible to associate Rider with these files on macOS and have it open them in the assembly view. Theoretically. I'll try to look into it in my spare time (not sure how we handle passed DLL or nupkg files passed through command line currently, maybe some code changes will be required).
