The privacy filter only catches new messages. Two new MessageStore
methods support a one-shot retroactive sweep: GetMessageCountsByChatType
returns a (ChatType, count) snapshot so the UI can preview the impact,
and CleanupRetainOnly hard-deletes everything outside the supplied
allowlist and runs VACUUM to reclaim disk space.
The Privacy tab gains a new section with a refresh-preview button, a
keep/delete summary, a per-channel breakdown tree, and a Ctrl+Shift
confirm. The cleanup runs on a background thread so a 800+ MB VACUUM
does not block the settings UI; tabs are rebuilt via the framework
thread once the delete finishes. The cleanup deliberately uses the
saved Plugin.Config whitelist (not unsaved Mutable edits) so it stays
consistent with the prospective filter.
Introduce an opt-out channel whitelist so the database only persists
messages from channels the user explicitly wants to keep. Default
profile follows GDPR data minimization: own conversations only
(Tells, Party, FC, Linkshells, Cross-World Linkshells, Alliance,
ExtraChat). Public chat (Say/Shout/Yell), Novice Network, NPC
dialogue and system logs are dropped by default.
The filter sits inside MessageStore.UpsertMessage so any current or
future write path is covered uniformly. Configuration provides an
IsAllowedForStorage(ChatType) helper plus a "persist unknown
channels" failsafe (default off) for ChatTypes added by future
patches.
A new Privacy settings tab exposes the whitelist as grouped
checkboxes with three preset buttons (Privacy-First, Clear all,
Select all). Configuration version bumps from 6 to 7; existing
users are migrated to the Privacy-First defaults on first load
and notified once via the Dalamud notification manager.
Also includes a small .env.example and gitignore hygiene for local
development setup.
- Replace LiteDB database engine with Sqlite
Note: old databases will not be deleted
- Message duplication detection improvements
- Tolerate parse errors in release builds, log them
Shows path to database (click to copy), database size, database log
size, message count.
Also adds a Ctrl+Shift button to wipe the database permanently. This is
performed by clearing the Messages collection and then rebuilding the
database, which brings it down to around 48KB on my machine (even with
many messages).
