Purpose

Switch to use MSWebBrowser as default:

LibraryViewExtensionMSWebBrowser will build to Dynamo build folder
LIbraryViewExtension will build to its own bin folder
When launching Dynamo, Dynamo will load LibraryViewExtensionMSWebBrowser as default lib view extension
Dynamo folder will be missing from a few files including all the CEFSharp dependencies and locales

What it looks like, notice the scroll bar

What the build contains for LibraryViewExtension which is no longer part of DynamoCore:

are you concerned about the missing files for patch installers? Will you be manually copying them back in after build?

Since this would be for Global launch, I am not worried about the missing files for patch installers yet. I do remember Civil3D may back port updated Dynamo there but since they were already using MSWebBrowser, seems no issue should be raised on that end?

@QilongTang I'm not sure why I didn't do this in the past - maybe there is a reason - but can you checkout why layoutspec.json is duplicated in both projects? It would be nice if one was a link to the other so we only had to update it once in one spot when adding new nodes - or do you intend to drop the CEF project completely?

I mean adding existing item to project, and then using add file link:

@mjkkirschner I found that using linked layoutSpec will break the library display so I left it untouched

yeah - odd, the file needs to be embedded into the binary for it to be found at runtime, but maybe that doesn't make sense with a linked file - anyhow lets worry about it later - eventually we'll only have one of these projects anyway.

@QilongTang I'm confused - in your image above you show a bunch of CEF dependencies in the bin folder, I thought you were getting rid of them as per this comment: Dynamo folder will be missing from a few files including all the CEFSharp dependencies and locales

Yeah, please check the path, these are under LibraryViewExtension sub folder for future nuget wrapping

my reasoning for this funny naming was to avoid exposing the implementation in the name - not a big deal either way.

I can revert this or do you have an alternative naming option?

nah, it's fine - lgtm.

looks good - just a few questions.

There are lots of regressions, investigating

The previous failures all pass locally for me. Merging.
