Updates compression workflow to use consistent status messaging and better error handling across all driver vendor modules (Dell, HP, Lenovo, Microsoft).
Changes improve status tracking by:
- Standardizing compression success status to "Compression successful" instead of vendor-specific messages
- Introducing relative path variables to reduce code duplication and improve maintainability
- Suppressing command output by piping to `$null` for cleaner execution
- Adding explicit failure state in exception handlers to ensure success property reflects actual outcome
- Updating parallel processing logic to recognize the new standardized compression status
These modifications ensure consistent behavior across vendors and make the parallel processing coordinator aware of all compression completion states.
Introduces a new common function, `ConvertTo-SafeName`, to sanitize strings by removing characters that are invalid in Windows file paths.
This function is now used consistently when creating directory and file names for drivers (Dell, HP, Lenovo, Microsoft) and applications to prevent path-related errors. It replaces several ad-hoc sanitization methods with a single, more robust implementation.
Implements a deferred cleanup mechanism for driver source folders when they are compressed to a WIM and also used for WinPE.
When drivers are compressed, the original source folders are now preserved if they are also needed for WinPE driver injection. A marker file is created in these preserved folders.
A new cleanup step is added after the WinPE media creation to remove these preserved folders, ensuring they are available when needed but not left behind permanently.
Adds standard PowerShell comment-based help blocks (synopsis and description) to all UI and common library script modules (`.psm1`) and the main UI entry point script (`.ps1`).
This improves maintainability and discoverability by documenting the purpose of each script file. Also removes various redundant or commented-out code blocks.
Removes the logic that adds a `Success` property to the returned object when an existing driver package is found.
This property is handled by the calling function, making this assignment unnecessary and simplifying the driver-saving task functions.
Implements logic to compress previously downloaded driver folders into WIM files if the compression option is enabled. This ensures consistency in the driver store when re-running the download process.
Refactors the parallel task processing to rely on a standardized boolean 'Success' property from all driver download tasks. This simplifies the result handling logic and makes it more reliable than parsing status strings.
Adds a new `Test-ExistingDriver` function to the common driver module to centralize the logic for checking if drivers have already been downloaded, either as a folder or a WIM file.
This change removes duplicated code from the Dell, HP, Lenovo, and Microsoft driver download tasks, simplifying maintenance and ensuring consistent behavior across all manufacturers.
Refactors the driver download logic for all manufacturers to first check for the existence of a final `.wim` archive. If a WIM file is found, the download and processing for that model is skipped, significantly improving performance on subsequent runs.
This change also resolves a potential type conversion error when processing driver mapping JSON files and corrects a minor typo in a log message.
Adds a `DriverMapping.json` file to automate driver injection during image deployment.
Driver download tasks now generate or update this mapping file with the relative path for each successfully downloaded driver package.
The deployment script now uses this file to automatically detect and select the correct drivers for the target hardware, removing the need for manual selection. The manual driver selection prompt is retained as a fallback.
Implements a dedicated mutex to serialize MSI extraction operations. This prevents race conditions when multiple driver packages are processed in parallel by different tasks.
Adds a post-extraction verification step to ensure the target directory is not empty. This guards against silent failures where `msiexec` exits successfully but extracts no files, triggering a retry if necessary.
Refactors the driver selection UI to enhance stability and performance by changing how the underlying data source is managed. Creating and re-assigning a new list when data changes, rather than modifying the bound collection in-place, prevents UI inconsistency errors.
- Updates the model search to use the native WPF `CollectionView.Filter` for more efficient and reliable filtering.
- Fixes an issue where HTML entities were not decoded in Microsoft driver model names.
- Ensures selected drivers from one manufacturer are preserved when fetching models for another.
- Centralizes driver-related button event handlers into the core initialization module.
Relocates driver-specific download, parsing, and management logic from the main UI script and the FFUUI.Core module into new, dedicated modules for each manufacturer (Dell, HP, Lenovo, Microsoft). This improves modularity and code organization.
Additionally, centralizes common HTTP headers and user agent strings in the FFUUI.Core module, accessible via a new helper function.
