# Plan #
* Repo should be in a non-functional state
* This is to avoid confusion when most, if not all, scripts fail to run when first downloaded.
* The first step should be to run Build Kit.cmd which does the following
* Downloads 7-Zip, ConEmu, Notepad++, & Python (including wheel packages)
* (i.e. just enough to run update_kit.py)
* Open .bin/Scripts/settings/main.py in Notepad++ for configuration
* Move the kit folders into place
* (i.e. /.root_items/* ->> /, /Build Kit.cmd --> /.bin/Scripts/Build Kit.cmd, etc)
* Added Build Kit.cmd
* Launches build_kit.ps1
* Added build_kit.ps1
* Downloads 7-Zip, ConEmu, and Python
* Launches update_kit.py unless errors are encountered
* Removed all launchers
* update_kit.py will generate them in a future update
## MAJOR refactoring done ##
* All .cmd Command scripts
* Brandind / Settings variables now set via .bin/Scripts/settings/main.py
* Window titles now set using KIT_FULL_NAME
* All .py Python scripts
* All ClientDir paths should now use KIT_SHORT_NAME
* Long lines wrapped to better follow PEP8
* String formatting now more consistant
* Updated run_program() and popen_program() calls to use lists
* (e.g. cmd = ['', '', '']; run_program(cmd))
** Should improve clarity IMO
* Update window titles AFTER init_global_vars() so KIT_FULL_NAME can be used
* Branding / Settings
* Support tech now configurable
* (e.g. "Please let {tech} know and they'll look into it")
* Timezone now configurable
* Upload info can now be disabled/enabled in .bin/Scripts/settings/main.py
* CHKDSK
* Combined read-only and fix scripts and added menu
* DISM
* Combined ScanHealth and RestoreHealth scripts and added menu
* functions/common.py
* BREAKING: run_program() and popen_program() no longer accept 'args' variable
* Misc
* Removed Win7 NVMe launcher
* Never used and Win7 is deprecated
* Removed "DeviceRemover" and "Display Driver Uninstaller" launchers
* Both cut too deep and were not useful
* Removed Nirsoft utilities and Sysinternals Suite launchers
* Too many tools unused.
* Added .url links to the websites in case the tools are needed
* Replaced WinDirStat with TreeSizeFree
* Replaced Q-Dir launcher with XYplorer launcher
* Q-Dir was running into issues on Windows 10
* Removed C.IntRep, ESET, and MBAM launchers from "OSR & VR"
* Removed JRT
* Deprecated and discontinued by MBAM
* Removed unsupported QuickBooks launchers (2014 and older)
* Removed unsupported Office launchers (2010 and 2013\365)
* Removed "Revo Uninstaller" launcher
* Removed infrequently used tools from "Diagnostics"
* Auslogics DiskDefrag
* BatteryInfoView
* BIOSCodes
* GpuTest
* HeavyLoad
* Bugfixes
* major_exception() try-blocks should catch CTL+c again
* Allows for manual script bailing
## MAJOR refactoring in progress ##
# BROKEN SCRIPTS #
(These scripts need updated to use the new global_vars & try_and_print)
* user_data_transfer.py
* install_sw_bundle.py
* All Python scripts
* PLAN: Replace vars_wk with global_vars
* functions.py
* PLAN: Will hold (nearly?) all functions going forward
* Should simplify the remaining scripts
* (e.g. reset_browsers and sw_diagnostics both had a backup_browsers())
* PLAN: Move all program definitions to functions.py
* (e.g. vars_wk['SevenZip'] --> global_vars['Programs']['SevenZip'])
* Added major_exception()
* Should be called if anything goes wrong to alert user and provide info
* Added non_clobber_rename()
* Appends a number (if necessary) to avoid overwriting data
* Added popen_program()
* Removes subprocess req for sw_checklist
* Added try_and_print()
* Run a function and show CS/NS/etc
* Can add additional "result" strings via Exception classes
* Passes unrecognized args/kwargs to the function
* Used by scripts to standardize message formatting and error handling
* exit_script() now handles opening the log (if set) and killing caffeine.exe
* Refactored init_vars_wk/os code to work with global_vars
* Uses the try_and_print function for better formatting and error handling
* BREAKING: 'OS' vars now located in global_vars['OS'] (including 'Arch')
* OS labeled as 'outdated', 'very outdated', and 'unrecognized' as needed
* BREAKING: renamed PROGRAMS to TOOLS
* Expanded TOOLS
* Removed log_file as a required argument from all functions
* Removed vars_wk/global_vars as a required argument from all functions
* Removed unused WinPE functions
* Sorted functions
* user_checklist() (formerly reset_browsers())
* Most functions moved to functions.py (see above)
* Browsers
* Work has been split into backup, reset, and config sections
* Script now asks all questions before starting backup/reset/config
* Script now forces the homepage to DEFAULT_HOMEPAGE (set in functions.py)
* (i.e. it no longer asks first, it just does it)
* Current homepages are listed where possible before backup/reset/config
* Launch/Launchers
* Added QuickBooks support
* Removed launchers
* CPU-Z
* HWMonitor
* PerfMonitor2
* SanDisk Express Cache
* Shortcut Cleaner
* SuperAntiSpyware (SAS)
* Replaced Notepad2-Mod with Notepad++
