WindowsJumpLists! Let’s gooooo!
- A lot of the complexity that we’re dealing with architecturally is because we’re trying to maintain the old backend while adding the new capability with a new backend, but the two backends share some infrastructure.
- What I want to do is determine if we can do a better job of separating out the jumplist backend by reading a pref at runtime and choosing the right implementation.
TODO
- Rename nsIJumpListBuilder to nsILegacyJumpListBuilder
- Add createLegacyJumpListBuilder to nsIWinTaskBar to use the old mechanism
- Update WindowsJumpList to use the legacy interface
- Create a new nsIJumpListBuilder
- Populate nsIJumpListBuilder using the code we developed in the previous iteration
- Have createJumpListBuilder in nsIWinTaskBar use that
- Update WindowsJumpLists to choose the right builder based on the pref and treat them correctly based on that pref.
