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.
- Plugin commands trigger the command helper window now
- Fix auto translation with empty text appearing
- Switch up all dalamud payload usage to ROSS if possible
- Prepare 7.5 changes
- Cleanup
- Adds new setting "Enable inactivity hide during battle" (default:
true) which determines whether autohide should apply during battle
(thanks @aurieh)
- Adds new setting "Chat channels considered for activity" which allows
customizing which channels incoming messages must match to "bump" the
inactivity timer
- Adds new per-tab setting "Unhide the chat window on activity" to
configure whether it will be considered for "bumping" the inactivity
timer when receiving messages that match the new channel filter. Note
that the foreground tab is currently always considered.
- Extends autohide code to apply to poped-out tabs as well. Each popout
window has its own inactivity timer, but focusing the main window will
restore all popped out windows.

Adds two configurable hotkeys (plus the required code infrastructure to
handle configurable hotkeys) for cycling the active chat tab forward by
one and backwards by one.
After not receiving a message for X seconds (configurable) in the
current tab or any tab with unread mode enabled, the chat will be
hidden. Focus can be returned with return or slash as usual.
Having input focus or hovering the mouse over the chat window "bumps"
it every frame.
Also fixes a bug that prevented focus from being restored to tabs with
input disabled. The chat window will be brought back but the activated
event won't be fully processed.
