+- Modules: `src/modules/*` (one per utility; Command Palette in `src/modules/cmdpal/**`)
+- Build tools/docs: `tools/**`, `doc/devdocs/**`
+
+# Build and test (defaults)
+- Prerequisites: Visual Studio 2022 17.4+, minimal Windows 10 1803+.
+- Build discipline:
+  - One terminal per operation (build -> test). Do not switch or open new ones mid-flow.
+  - After making changes, `cd` to the project folder that changed (`.csproj`/`.vcxproj`).
+  - Use scripts to build, synchronously block and wait in foreground for completion: `tools/build/build.ps1|.cmd` (current folder), `build-essentials.*` (once per brand new build for missing nuget packages).
+  - Treat build exit code 0 as success; any non-zero exit code is a failure. Read the errors log in the build folder (such as `build.*.*.errors.log`) and surface problems.
+  - Do not start tests or launch Runner until the previous step succeeded.
+- Tests (fast and targeted):
+  - Find the test project by product code prefix (for example FancyZones, AdvancedPaste). Look for a sibling folder or one to two levels up named like `<Product>*UnitTests` or `<Product>*UITests`.
+  - Build the test project, wait for exit, then run only those tests via VS Test Explorer or `vstest.console.exe` with filters. Avoid `dotnet test` in this repo.
+  - Add or adjust tests when changing behavior; if skipped, state why (for example comment-only or string rename).
+
+# Pull requests (expectations)
+- Atomic: one logical change; no drive-by refactors.
+- Describe: problem, approach, risk, test evidence.
+- List: touched paths if not obvious.
+
+# When to ask for clarification
+- Ambiguous spec after scanning relevant docs (see below).
+- Cross-module impact (shared enum or struct) not clear.
+- Security, elevation, or installer changes.
+
+# Logging (use existing stacks)
+- C++ logging lives in `src/common/logger/**` (`Logger::info`, `Logger::warn`, `Logger::error`, `Logger::debug`). Keep hot paths quiet (hooks, tight loops).
+- C# logging goes through `ManagedCommon.Logger` (`LogInfo`, `LogWarning`, `LogError`, `LogDebug`, `LogTrace`). Some UIs use injected `ILogger` via `LoggerInstance.Logger`.
+
+# Docs to consult
+- `tools/build/BUILD-GUIDELINES.md`
+- `doc/devdocs/core/architecture.md`
+- `doc/devdocs/core/runner.md`
+- `doc/devdocs/core/settings/readme.md`
+- `doc/devdocs/modules/readme.md`
+
+# Language style rules
+- Always enforce repo analyzers: root `.editorconfig` plus any `stylecop.json`.
+- C# code follows StyleCop.Analyzers and Microsoft.CodeAnalysis.NetAnalyzers.
+- C++ code honors `.clang-format` plus `.clang-tidy` (modernize/cppcoreguidelines/readability).
+- Markdown files wrap at 80 characters and use ATX headers with fenced code blocks that include language tags.
+- YAML files indent two spaces and add comments for complex settings while keeping keys clear.
+- PowerShell scripts use Verb-Noun names and prefer single-quoted literals while documenting parameters and satisfying PSScriptAnalyzer.
+
+# Done checklist (self review before finishing)
+- Build clean? Tests updated or passed? No unintended formatting? Any new dependency? Documented skips?

+description: 'Generate an 80-character git commit title for the local diff.'
+---
+
+**Goal:** Provide a ready-to-paste git commit title (<= 80 characters) that captures the most important local changes since `HEAD`.
+
+**Workflow:**
+1. Run a single command to view the local diff since the last commit:
+   ```@terminal
+   git diff HEAD
+   ```
+2. From that diff, identify the dominant area (reference key paths like `src/modules/*`, `doc/devdocs/**`, etc.), the type of change (bug fix, docs update, config tweak), and any notable impact.
+3. Draft a concise, imperative commit title summarizing the dominant change. Keep it plain ASCII, <= 80 characters, and avoid trailing punctuation. Mention the primary component when obvious (for example `FancyZones:` or `Docs:`).
+4. Respond with only the final commit title on a single line so it can be pasted directly into `git commit`.

+description: 'Generate a PowerToys-ready pull request description from the local diff.'
+---
+
+**Goal:** Produce a ready-to-paste PR title and description that follows PowerToys conventions by comparing the current branch against a user-selected target branch.
+
+**Repo guardrails:**
+- Treat `.github/pull_request_template.md` as the single source of truth; load it at runtime instead of embedding hardcoded content in this prompt.
+- Preserve section order from the template but only surface checklist lines that are relevant for the detected changes, filling them with `[x]`/`[ ]` as appropriate.
+- Cite touched paths with inline backticks, matching the guidance in `.github/copilot-instructions.md`.
+- Call out test coverage explicitly: list automated tests run (unit/UI) or state why they are not applicable.
+
+**Workflow:**
+1. Determine the target branch from user context; default to `main` when no branch is supplied.
+2. Run `git status --short` once to surface uncommitted files that may influence the summary.
+3. Run `git diff <target-branch>...HEAD` a single time to review the detailed changes. Only when confidence stays low dig deeper with focused calls such as `git diff <target-branch>...HEAD -- <path>`.
+4. From the diff, capture impacted areas, key file changes, behavioral risks, migrations, and noteworthy edge cases.
+5. Confirm validation: list tests executed with results or state why tests were skipped in line with repo guidance.
+6. Load `.github/pull_request_template.md`, mirror its section order, and populate it with the gathered facts. Include only relevant checklist entries, marking them `[x]/[ ]` and noting any intentional omissions as "N/A".
+7. Present the filled template inside a fenced ```markdown code block with no extra commentary so it is ready to paste into a PR, clearly flagging any placeholders that still need user input.

+description: 'Resolve Code scanning / check-spelling comments on the active PR.'
+---
+
+**Goal:** Clear every outstanding GitHub pull request comment created by the `Code scanning / check-spelling` workflow by explicitly allowing intentional terms.
+
+**Guardrails:**
+- Update only discussion threads authored by `github-actions` or `github-actions[bot]` that mention `Code scanning results / check-spelling`.
+- Resolve findings solely by editing `.github/actions/spell-check/expect.txt`; reuse existing entries.
+- Leave all other files and topics untouched.
+
+**Prerequisites:**
+- Install GitHub CLI if it is not present: `winget install GitHub.cli`.
+- Run `gh auth login` once before the first CLI use.
+
+**Workflow:**
+1. Determine the active pull request with a single `gh pr view --json number` call (default to the current branch).
+2. Fetch all PR discussion data once via `gh pr view --json comments,reviews` and filter to check-spelling comments authored by `github-actions` or `github-actions[bot]` that are not minimized; when several remain, process only the most recent comment body.
+3. For each flagged token, review `.github/actions/spell-check/expect.txt` for an equivalent term (for example an existing lowercase variant); when found, reuse that normalized term rather than adding a new entry, even if the flagged token differs only by casing. Only add a new entry after confirming no equivalent already exists.
+4. Add any remaining missing token to `.github/actions/spell-check/expect.txt`, keeping surrounding formatting intact.

+# Shortcut Conflict Detection
+
+Steps to enable conflict detection for a hotkey:
+
+### 1. Implement module interface for hotkeys
+Ensure the module interface provides either `size_t get_hotkeys(Hotkey* hotkeys, size_t buffer_size)` or `std::optional<HotkeyEx> GetHotkeyEx()`.
+
+- If not yet implemented, you need to add it so that it returns all hotkeys used by the module.
+- **Important**: The order of the returned hotkeys matters. This order is used as an index to uniquely identify each hotkey for conflict detection and lookup.
+- For reference, see: `src/modules/AdvancedPaste/AdvancedPasteModuleInterface/dllmain.cpp`
+
+### 2. Implement IHotkeyConfig in the module settings (UI side)
+Make sure the module’s settings file inherits from `IHotkeyConfig` and implements `HotkeyAccessor[] GetAllHotkeyAccessors()`.
+
+- This method should return all hotkeys used in the module.
+- **Important**: The order of the returned hotkeys must be consistent with step 1 (`get_hotkeys()` or `GetHotkeyEx()`).
+- For reference, see: `src/settings-ui/Settings.UI.Library/AdvancedPasteSettings.cs`
+- **_Note:_** `HotkeyAccessor` is a wrapper around HotkeySettings. 
+It provides both `getter` and `setter` methods to read and update the corresponding hotkey.
+Additionally, each `HotkeyAccessor` requires a resource string that describes the purpose of the hotkey.
+This string is typically defined in: `src/settings-ui/Settings.UI/Strings/en-us/Resources.resw`
+
+### 3. Update the module’s ViewModel
+The corresponding ViewModel should inherit from `PageViewModelBase` and implement `Dictionary<string, HotkeySettings[]> GetAllHotkeySettings()`.
+
+- This method should return all hotkeys, maintaining the same order as in steps 1 and 2.
+- For reference, see: `src/settings-ui/Settings.UI/ViewModels/AdvancedPasteViewModel.cs`
+
+### 4. Ensure the module’s Views call `OnPageLoaded()`
+Once the module’s view is loaded, make sure to invoke the ViewModel’s `OnPageLoaded()` method:
+```cs
+Loaded += (s, e) => ViewModel.OnPageLoaded();

+## Developing PowerToys with Visual Studio Code
+
+This guide shows how to build, debug, and contribute to PowerToys using VS Code instead of (or alongside) full Visual Studio. It focuses on common inner‑loop tasks for C++, .NET, and mixed scenarios present in the solution.
+
+> PowerToys is a large mixed C++ / C# / WinAppSDK solution. VS Code works well for incremental development and quick module iterations, but occasionally you may still prefer full Visual Studio for designer tooling or specialized diagnostics.
+
+---
+VS Code extensions Needed:
+
+| Area | Extension | Notes |
+|------|-----------|-------|
+| C++ | ms-vscode.cpptools | IntelliSense, debugging (cppvsdbg) |
+| C# | ms-dotnettools.csdevkit (or C#) | Language service / test explorer |
+
+---
+
+## Building in VS Code
+### Configure developer powershell for vs2022 for more convenient dev in vscode.
+1. Configure profile in in settings, entry:  "terminal.integrated.profiles.windows"
+2. Add below config as entry:
+```json
+    "Developer PowerShell for VS 2022": {
+		// Configure based on your preference
+        "path": "C:\\Program Files\\WindowsApps\\Microsoft.PowerShell_7.5.2.0_arm64__8wekyb3d8bbwe\\pwsh.exe",
+        "args": [
+            "-NoExit",
+            "-Command",
+            "& {",
+            "$orig = Get-Location;",
+            // Configure based on your environment
+            "& 'C:\\Program Files\\Microsoft Visual Studio\\2022\\Enterprise\\Common7\\Tools\\Launch-VsDevShell.ps1';",
+            "Set-Location $orig",
+            "}"
+        ]
+    },
+```
+3. [Optional] Set Developer PowerShell for VS 2022 as your default profile, so that you can get a deep integration with vscode coding agent. 
+
+4. Now You can build with plain `msbuild` or configure tasks.json in below section
+Or reach out to "tools\build\BUILD-GUIDELINES.md"
+
+### Sample plain msbuild command
+```powershell
+# Restore:
+msbuild powertoys.sln -t:restore -p:configuration=debug -p:platform=x64 -m
+
+# Build powertoys sln
+msbuild powertoys.sln -p:configuration=debug -p:platform=x64 -m
+
+# dotnet project
+msbuild src\settings-ui\Settings.UI\PowerToys.Settings.csproj -p:Platform=x64 -p:Configuration=Debug -m
+
+# native project
+msbuild "src\modules\MouseUtils\FindMyMouse\FindMyMouse.vcxproj" -p:Configuration=Debug -p:Platform=x64 -m
+```
+
+---
+
+## Debugging
+
+### Existing launch configuration
+
+The repo provides `.vscode/launch.json` with:
+
+- `Run PowerToys.exe (no build)`: Launches the already-built executable at `x64/Debug/PowerToys.exe` using `cppvsdbg`.
+
+Build first, then press F5. To switch configuration (Release / ARM64) either edit the path or create additional launch entries.
+
+### Attaching to a running instance
+
+If PowerToys is already running, you can attach to that process:
+
+2. VS Code command palette: “C/C++: (Windows) Attach to Process”.
+3. Filter for `PowerToys.exe` / module-specific processes.
+
+### Debugging managed components
+
+Many modules have a managed component loaded into the PowerToys process. `cppvsdbg` can debug mixed mode, but if you need richer .NET inspection you can create a second configuration using `type: coreclr` and `processId` attachment after the native launch, or just attach separately:
+
+Similar for attach to managed code.
+> Note: In arm64 machine, can only debug arm64 code.
+
+```jsonc
+{
+    "version": "0.2.0",
+    "configurations": [
+        {
+            "name": "Run native executable (no build)",
+            "type": "cppvsdbg",
+            "request": "launch",
+            "program": "${workspaceFolder}\\x64\\Debug\\PowerToys.exe",
+            "args": [],
+            "stopAtEntry": false,
+            "cwd": "${workspaceFolder}",
+            "environment": [],
+            "console": "integratedTerminal"
+        },
+        {
+            "name": "C/C++ Attach to PowerToys Process (native)",
+            "type": "cppvsdbg",
+            "request": "attach",
+            "processId": "${command:pickProcess}",
+            "symbolSearchPath": "${workspaceFolder}\\x64\\Debug;${workspaceFolder}\\Debug;${workspaceFolder}\\symbols"
+        },
+        {
+            "name": "Run managed code (managed, no build)",
+            "type": "coreclr",
+            "request": "launch",
+            "program": "${workspaceFolder}\\arm64\\Debug\\WinUI3Apps\\PowerToys.Settings.exe",
+            "args": [],
+            "cwd": "${workspaceFolder}",
+            "env": {},
+            "console": "internalConsole",
+            "stopAtEntry": false
+        }
+    ]
+}
+```
+---
+
+## 6. Common tasks & tips
+
+| Task | Command / Action | Notes |
+|------|------------------|-------|
+| Clean | `git clean -xdf` (careful) or `msbuild /t:Clean PowerToys.sln` | Deep clean removes packages & build outputs |
+| Rebuild single project | `msbuild path\to\proj.vcxproj /t:Rebuild -p:Platform=x64 -p:Configuration=Debug` | Faster than whole solution |
+| Generate installer (rare in inner loop) | See `tools\build\build-installer.ps1` | Usually not needed for local debug |
+| Resource conversion errors | Re-run restore + build | Triggers custom PowerShell targets |

+# Light Switch
+
+[Public Overview – Microsoft Learn](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/powertoys/light-switch)
+
+## Quick Links
+
+* [All Issues](https://github.com/microsoft/PowerToys/issues?q=is%3Aissue%20state%3Aopen%20label%3AProduct-LightSwitch)
+* [Bugs](https://github.com/microsoft/PowerToys/issues?q=is%3Aissue%20state%3Aopen%20label%3AProduct-LightSwitch%20label%3AIssue-Bug)
+* [Pull Requests](https://github.com/microsoft/PowerToys/pulls?q=is%3Apr+is%3Aopen+label%3AProduct-LightSwitch)
+
+## Overview
+
+The **Light Switch** module lets users automatically transition between light and dark mode using a timed schedule or a keyboard shortcut.
+
+## Features
+
+* Set custom times to start and stop dark mode.
+* Use geolocation to determine local sunrise and sunset times.
+* Apply offsets in sunrise mode (e.g., 15 minutes before sunset).
+* Quickly toggle between modes with a keyboard shortcut (`Ctrl+Shift+Win+D` by default).
+* Choose whether theme changes apply to:
+
+  * Apps only
+  * System only
+  * Both apps and system
+
+## Architecture
+
+### Main Components
+
+* **Shortcut/Hotkey**
+  Listens for a hotkey event. Calling `onHotkey()` flips the theme flags.
+
+  > **Note:** Using the shortcut overrides the current schedule until the next transition event.
+
+* **LightSwitchService**
+  Reads settings and applies theming. Runs a check every minute to ensure the state is correct.
+
+* **SettingsXAML/LightSwitch**
+  Provides the settings UI for configuring schedules, syncing location, and customizing shortcuts.
+
+* **Settings.UI/ViewModels/LightSwitchViewModel.cs**
+  Handles updates to the settings file and communicates changes to the front end.
+
+* **modules/LightSwitch/Tests**
+  Contains UI tests that verify interactions between the settings UI, system state, and `settings.json`.
+
+### Data Flow
+
+1. User configures settings in the UI (default: manual mode, light mode from 06:00–18:00).
+2. Every minute, the service checks the time.
+
+   * If it’s not a threshold, the service sleeps until the next minute.
+   * If it matches a threshold, the service applies the theme based on settings and returns to sleep.
+3. At **midnight**, when in *Sunrise to Sunset* mode, the service updates daily sunrise and sunset times.
+4. If the machine was asleep during a scheduled event, the service applies the correct settings at the next check.
+
+## User Interface
+
+The module’s settings are exposed in the PowerToys Settings UI. Options include:
+
+* Shortcut customization
+* Mode selection (Manual or Sunrise to Sunset)
+* Manual start/stop times (manual mode only)
+* Automatic sunrise/sunset calculation (location-based)
+* Time offsets (sunrise mode)
+* Target scope (system, apps, or both)
+
+## Development Environment Setup
+
+### Prerequisites
+
+* Visual Studio 2019 or later
+* Windows 10 SDK
+* PowerToys repository cloned from GitHub
+
+### Building and Testing
+
+1. Clone the repo:
+
+   ```sh
+   git clone https://github.com/microsoft/PowerToys.git
+   ```
+2. Initialize submodules:
+
+   ```sh
+   git submodule update --init --recursive
+   ```
+3. Build the solution:
+
+   ```sh
+   msbuild -restore -p:RestorePackagesConfig=true -p:Platform=ARM64 -m PowerToys.sln
+   ```
+
+   > Note: This may take some time.
+4. Set `runner` as the startup project and press **F5**.
+5. Enable Light Switch in PowerToys Settings.
+6. To debug the service:
+
+   * Press `Ctrl+Alt+P` or go to **Debug > Attach to Process**.
+   * Select `LightSwitchService.exe` and click **Attach**.
+   * You can now set breakpoints in the service files.
+7. To debug the Settings UI:
+
+   * Set the startup project to `PowerToys.Settings` and press **F5**.
+   * Note: Light Switch settings will not persist in this mode (they depend on the service executable).
+   * Alternatively, you can attach `PowerToys.Settings.exe` to the debugger while `runner` is running to test the full flow with breakpoints.

+# PowerToys Settings – Search Index (Hard-sealed)
+
+## 1. What to index
+
+This section describes the current structure of the settings pages in PowerToys. All user-facing settings are contained in the content of <controls:SettingsPageControl>. The logical and visual structure of settings follows a nested layout as shown below:
+
+```css
+SettingsPageControl
+ └─ SettingsGroup
+     └─ [SettingsExpander]
+         └─ SettingsCard
+```
+* Each SettingsGroup defines a functional section within a settings page.
+
+* An optional SettingsExpander may be used to further organize related settings inside a group.
+
+* Each actual setting is represented by a SettingsCard, which contains one user-tweakable control or a group of closely related controls.
+
+>Note: Not all SettingsCard are necessarily wrapped in a SettingsExpander; they can exist directly under a SettingsGroup. 
+
+> For indexing purposes, we are specifically targeting all SettingsCard elements. These are the smallest units of user interaction and correspond to individual configurable settings.
+
+> There could be setting item in expander, so we also need to index expander items as well.
+
+### Module
+Module is a primary type that needs to be indexed, for modules, we need to index the 'ModuleTitle' and the 'ModuleDescription'. 
+So these two should be passed in by x:Uid and binding with a key. 
+
+
+### SettingsCard/SettingsExpander
+
+Each SettingsCard/SettingsExpander should have an x:Uid for localization and indexing. The associated display strings are defined in the .resw files:
+
+{x:Uid}.Header – The visible label/title of the setting.
+{x:Uid}.Description – (optional) The tooltip or explanatory text.
+
+The index should be built around these SettingsCard elements and their x:Uid-bound resources, as they represent the actual settings users will search for.
+
+---
+
+## 2. How to Navigate
+
+### Entry
+```csharp
+enum EntryType
+{
+    SettingsPage,
+    SettingsCard,
+    SettingsExpander,
+}
+
+public class SearchableElementMetadata
+{
+    public string PageName { get; set; }    // Used to navigate to a specific page
+    public EntryType Type { get; set; }     // Used to know how should we navigate(As a page, a settingscard or an expander?)
+    public string ParentElementName { get; set; }
+    public string ElementName { get; set; }
+    public string ElementUid { get; set; }
+    public string Icon { get; set; }
+}
+```
+
+### Navigation
+The steps for navigate to an item:
+* Navigate among pages
+* [optional] Expand the expander if setting entry is inside an expander
+* [optional] Navigate within page
+
+> Use page name for navigation:
+```csharp
+Type GetPageTypeFromPageName(string PageName)
+{
+    var assembly = typeof(GeneralPage).Assembly;
+    return assembly.GetType($"Microsoft.PowerToys.Settings.UI.Views.{PageName}");
+}
+
+NavigationService.Navigate(PageType, ElementName，ParentElementName);
+```
+
+> Use ElementName and ParentElementName for in page navigation:
+```csharp
+Page.OnNavigateTo(ElementName， ParentElementName){
+    var element = this.FindName(name) as FrameworkElement;
+    var parentElement = this.FindName(ParentElementName) as FrameworkElement;
+
+    if(parentElement) {
+        expander = (Expander)parentElement;
+        if(expander){
+            expander.Expand();
+        }
+
+        // https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/uwp/api/windows.ui.xaml.uielement.startbringintoview?view=winrt-26100        
+        element.StartBringIntoView();
+    }
+}
+```
+
+## 3. Runtime Search
+When user start typing for an entry, e.g. shortcut or 快捷键(cn version of shortcut),
+we need to go through all the entries to see if an entry matches the search text.
+
+A naive approach will be try to match all the localized text one by one and see if they match.
+Total entry is within thousand(To fill in an exact number), performance is acceptable now.
+```csharp
+// Match
+query = UserInput();
+matched = {};
+
+indexes = BuildIndex();
+
+foreach(var entry in indexes) {
+    if(entry.Match(query)) {
+        matched.Add(entry);
+    }
+}
+```
+
+And we don't intend to introduce complexity on the match algorithm discussion, so let's use powertoys FuzzMatch impl for now.
+```csharp
+MatchResult Match(this Entry entry, string query) {
+    return FuzzMatch(entry.DisplayedText, query);
+}
+
+struct MatchResult{
+    int Score;
+    bool Result;
+}
+```
+
+## 4. Search Result Page
+![search result page](./search-result.png)
+After we got matched items, map these items to a search result page according to spec.
+```c#
+ObservableCollection<SettingEntry> ModuleResult;
+ObservableCollection<SettingsGroup> GroupedSettingsResults;
+
+public class SettingsGroup : INotifyPropertyChanged
+{
+    private string _groupName;
+    private ObservableCollection<SettingEntry> _settings;
+    public string GroupName
+    {
+        get => _groupName;
+        set
+        {
+            _groupName = value;
+            OnPropertyChanged();
+        }
+    }
+    public ObservableCollection<SettingEntry> Settings
+    {
+        get => _settings;
+        set
+        {
+            _settings = value;
+            OnPropertyChanged();
+        }
+    }
+    public event PropertyChangedEventHandler PropertyChanged;
+    protected virtual void OnPropertyChanged([CallerMemberName] string propertyName = null)
+    {
+        PropertyChanged?.Invoke(this, new PropertyChangedEventArgs(propertyName));
+    }
+}
+```
+
+## 5. How to do Index
+### Runtime index or build time index?
+Now We need to build all the entries in our settings.
+
+Most of the entry properties are static, and in runtime, the `SettingsCard` is compiled into native winUI3 controls <small>(I suppose, please correct here if it's wrong)</small>, it's hard to locate all the `SettingsCard`, and performance is terrible if we do search for all the pages' elements.
+
+### Build time indexing
+We can rely on xaml file parsing to get all the SettingsCard Entries. 
+And we don't want xaml file to be brought into production bundle.
+Use a project for parsing and bring that index file into production bundle is a solution.
+```csproj
+  <Target Name="GenerateSearchIndex" BeforeTargets="BeforeBuild">
+    <PropertyGroup>
+      <BuilderExe>$(MSBuildProjectDirectory)\..\Settings.UI.XamlIndexBuilder\bin\$(Configuration)\net8.0\XamlIndexBuilder.exe</BuilderExe>
+      <XamlDir>$(MSBuildProjectDirectory)\Views</XamlDir>
+      <GeneratedJson>$(MSBuildProjectDirectory)\Services\searchable_elements.json</GeneratedJson>
+    </PropertyGroup>
+    <Exec Command="&quot;$(BuilderExe)&quot; &quot;$(XamlDir)&quot; &quot;$(GeneratedJson)&quot;" />
+  </Target>
+```
+```csharp
+for(xamlFile in xamlFiles){
+    var doc = Load(xamlFile);
+    var elements = doc.Descendants();
+
+    foreach(var element in elements){
+        if(element.Name == "SettingsCard") {
+            var entry = new Entry{
+                ElementName = element.Attribute["Name"],
+                PageName = FileName,
+                Type = "SettingsCard",
+                ElementUid = element.Attribute["Uid"],
+                DisplayedText = "",
+            }
+
+            var parent = element.GetParent();
+            if(parent.Name == "SettingsExpander"){
+                entry.ParentElementName = parent.Attribute["Name"];
+            }
+        }
+    }
+}
+```
+Runtime index loading:
+```
+var entries = LoadEntriesFromFile();
+foreach(var entry in entries){
+    entry.DisplayedText = ResourceLoader.GetString(entry.Uid);
+}
+```
+So now we have all the entries and entry properties.

-  <!-- WiX Components with multiple files cause issues due to the way Windows installs them. 
-         Windows decides whether to install a component by checking the existence of KeyPath file and its version.
-         Thus, if some files were updated but KeyPath file was not, the component wouldn't be updated.
-         Some resource files, e.g. images, do not have version, so even if Component has only a single image and a static GUID, it won't be updated.
-         
-         Considering all of the above, it's much simpler to just have one file per Component with an implicit Guid.
