its me branched from this, as a group org doing multiple things

PhotinoEx

PhotinoEx is a Fork of Photino aiming to fix up bugs, add features and move one part of the project from C++ to C#.

I'm hoping this will make it easier to debug and develop on.

Currently do not use this in production. Once feature parity is done, i'll start working on some fixes/features from the old repo.

Requirements

• Dotnet 10.
• Windows: the Microsoft Edge WebView2 Evergreen Runtime.
• Linux: GTK 4 and WebKitGTK 6 runtime libraries.
• macOS: Apple Silicon or Intel.
• An IDE supporting C# and Dotnet.
  • I will recommend Rider but VisualStudio should also work fine.

Install

For a Blazor desktop application:

dotnet add package PhotinoXDX.Blazor --prerelease

For direct access to the native window and webview APIs:

dotnet add package PhotinoXDX.Core --prerelease

Packages target .NET 10 and are published for Windows, macOS, and Linux. Remove --prerelease once a stable version is available.

Build from CLI

git clone https://github.com/XDX-Org/PhotinoXDX.git
cd PhotinoXDX
dotnet build

Releasing

Push a SemVer tag to publish both packages through NuGet trusted publishing:

git tag v0.1.0-preview.1
git push origin v0.1.0-preview.1

The release workflow builds and tests all projects, validates the generated packages in clean applications, publishes them to NuGet, and creates a GitHub release. The GitHub release environment must contain the NUGET_USER secret.

Photino

Photino contained three packages:

• Blazor
• NET
• Native

The Native Library has been rewritten to C# and the NET lib has been consolidated into Core with that.

Clipboard

Blazor components can copy text through the native operating-system clipboard:

@inject PhotinoEx.Blazor.IPhotinoExClipboard Clipboard

<button @onclick="Copy">Copy</button>

@code {
    private Task Copy() => Clipboard.CopyTextAsync("Text to copy").AsTask();
}

Files and directories can be copied together. Directories are copied recursively by the operating system when pasted, so no recursive flag is required:

await Clipboard.CopyFilesAsync(
    ["/path/to/report.pdf", "/path/to/folder"]
);

See Native Clipboard for implementation status, platform formats, and Core API usage.

Planned work is tracked in the phased implementation roadmap.
