iWorkHelper/oWorkHelper

This system is an Outlook add-in designed to batch-archive emails and extract data from PDF invoices. It features a robust archiving pipeline that handles file staging, conflict resolution, and configurable naming templates, while supporting OCR integration for text extraction. The tool includes diagnostic utilities and offline testing capabilities to validate parsing logic and registration status independently of the Outlook environment.

The Outlook add-in now provides a robust batch archive feature accessible via the 'Archive' button in the ribbon. When triggered, the system performs pre-flight checks (validating configuration, selected emails, and permissions) before launching a non-modal progress window that displays real-time status (total/processed emails, current stage, percentage). Users can cancel the operation at any time; cancellation is handled gracefully at workflow checkpoints, preserving already-archived files while skipping remaining ones. The process includes a concurrency lock to prevent duplicate runs, automatic migration of plaintext secrets to DPAPI encryption if needed, and a final summary dialog detailing successes, failures, and OCR fallbacks. A 'Settings' button is also added to the ribbon for configuring archive folders, naming templates, and OCR options.

(repo-wide) · high confidence

Added an offline PDF invoice testing tool (OfflineTester) that extracts text via PdfPig, optionally uses Baidu OCR, and validates field parsing, classification, and naming rules without requiring Outlook or email. Also added PowerShell scripts to diagnose the iWorkHelper Outlook add-in registration, including checking registry keys, LoadBehavior, manifest paths, and resiliency status (DisabledItems/CrashingAddinList).

The project metadata has been updated to version 1.3.0.0, and the application settings have been expanded to support new configuration options. New user-scoped settings include \PreferLocalParse\ and \AutoFallbackToOcr\ to control parsing behavior, along with \BaiduApiKey\, \BaiduSecretKey\, and related URLs for Baidu OCR integration. Additionally, customizable name templates for invoices, trips, and other document types have been added to allow users to define their own file naming conventions.

My Project · high confidence

The Core/Archive module has been completely rewritten to replace the previous monolithic logic with a structured, multi-component system. This change introduces a dedicated ArchiveExecutor for safe, atomic file copying (using .partial staging to prevent corruption), an ArchivePlanner to handle path validation and conflict resolution, and a unified ArchiveNamingRule that consolidates previous separate templates into a single configurable template with a built-in fallback for unrecognized files. Additionally, the system now generates detailed, privacy-safe text reports for every batch and implements a robust ExplorerFolderService to correctly activate existing Windows Explorer windows instead of opening duplicates.

Core · high confidence

The project now includes a new standalone console application, OfflineTester, designed to validate PDF text extraction, local field parsing, and naming rules without requiring Outlook. This tool references the core library files and updates the NuGet package dependencies to Microsoft.Bcl.HashCode 6.0.0, PdfPig 0.1.14, System.Buffers 4.6.0, System.Memory 4.6.0, System.Numerics.Vectors 4.6.0, and System.Runtime.CompilerServices.Unsafe 6.1.0.
