Peek: add ability to HotReload

Jay-o-Way commented 1 year ago

Description of the new feature / enhancement

When building Peek and working on the GUI, there's no window being shown because there is no file. This means testing any change is extremely cumbersome. Would love to see the window while debugging.

Scenario when this would be used?

Working on Peek

Supporting information

Current method:

make sure the build version of PowerToys isn't running
run project or build PowerToys
start (local) PowerToys
open the fly out to enable Peek
open Explorer
Ctrl+Space on images
see something isn't as it should
close PowerToys
start over

Is your startup project peek or runner?

Does that matter when there's code that explicitly checks for a file(name) ?

I stand corrected, when i last went into debug, that is what i did. Maybe something tweaked. Asking

@SamChaps are you still available for working on Peek? You seem to keep quite a bit in the background. Just wondering how much we can ping you...

@Jay-o-Way my time has been a bit limited for the past couple weeks. But I am up and willing to help. Feel free to ping me, we can even setup calls.
