Class ResourceSeeder

Namespace
Hi.HiNcKits
Assembly
HiNc.dll

Seeds the shipped default resources (Resource/** from the HiNc-Resource content package, next to the executable) into the admin resource directory, honoring the ResourceDefaultMarker ownership convention:

  • Marked items (X.default.Ext files, Name.default/ folders) are system territory — they are copied in, refreshed when the shipped bytes change, and deleted when no longer shipped.
  • Unmarked items belong to the user and are never touched.
A version stamp file at the destination root records the last-seeded HiNc-Resource version; when it matches, the whole pass is skipped, so steady-state startup cost is one small file read.

Remarks

One-time migration for pre-marker installs: an unmarked twin of a shipped item (same path with the marker stripped) whose bytes equal the shipped bytes is absorbed — deleted so the marked copy replaces it. A twin with different bytes is a user customization and is left alone.

Unmarked files in the source tree are ignored entirely; stale additive-only build output therefore never propagates to the admin folder. All failures are logged as warnings — seeding never throws.

Fields

ResourceAssemblyFileName

Assembly file probed (next to the executable) for the shipped resource version.

public const string ResourceAssemblyFileName = "HiNc-Resource.dll"

Field Value

string

VersionStampFileName

Version stamp file name written at the destination resource root.

public const string VersionStampFileName = ".hinc-resource-version"

Field Value

string

Methods

Seed(string, ILogger)

Seeds the shipped defaults into adminResourceDirectory. Source is Resource/ under BaseDirectory (the process CWD is not stable enough to anchor on). Never throws.

public static void Seed(string adminResourceDirectory, ILogger logger)

Parameters

adminResourceDirectory string

Absolute path of the admin Resource root.

logger ILogger

Sink for the pass summary and warnings.
