fanlusky bc37ac9a9e feat(installer): 安装时可自定义数据目录位置
词库、用户配置和皮肤此前固定在 %LOCALAPPDATA%\metasequoiaime,整包几百 MB
全压在 C 盘。安装向导新增一页,允许把这部分数据放到任意盘。

程序本体仍固定装在 Program Files:MetasequoiaImeServer.exe 带 uiAccess=true,
只有在受信任目录里这个标志才生效。

运行期的权威来源是 HKLM\Software\Metasequoia\MetasequoiaIME 的 DataDir。
Server、TSF DLL 和引擎三个组件各自按同一顺序解析:METASEQUOIA_IME_DATA_DIR
环境变量 -> 该注册表值 -> %LOCALAPPDATA%\metasequoiaime。三处各持一份实现,
因为组件边界规则禁止 windows/ 与 server/ 互相 include。32 位 TSF DLL 用
KEY_WOW64_64KEY 读,避开 WOW64 重定向。

安全相关的两个约束:

- 安装器在数据目录里写 .metasequoiaime-data 标记。覆盖安装的清理和卸载的整目录
  删除只在看到这个标记(或目录就是历史默认位置)时才执行——用户可能把数据目录
  指到一个本来就有自己文件的文件夹。
- 选择页与 /DATADIR= 走同一套校验:拒绝相对路径、盘符根目录、不存在的盘、程序
  目录内部,以及 Windows/Program Files/各 AppData/用户主目录本身。

升级时改了位置,PrepareToInstall 在停掉输入法进程后用 robocopy /MOVE 搬运用户
拥有的数据(msime_user.db 及其 WAL/SHM/journal、config.toml、config.base.toml、
skins\),词库和前端资源由本次安装重新写入。跨卷移动目录 MoveFile 会失败,所以用
robocopy。用户词库搬运失败会中止安装:否则新版本对着空的 msime_user.db 启动,
ssPostInstall 的回放只记一句 skipped,用户的自造词就静悄悄没了。

测试侧新增 METASEQUOIA_IME_CONFIG_DIR,只改 config.toml 的位置而不搬词库。原先
靠重定向 LOCALAPPDATA 做隔离的办法在装了正式版的机器上已不再成立——注册表值
的优先级高于它。

Input engine (engine/)

中文 README · Website

The C++ conversion engine behind Metasequoia IME for Windows: input sessions, candidate lookup, helpcodes, the shared contracts and the voice module.

This directory used to be a submodule of metasequoiaime/MSIME-Engine. It is now a component of this repository, a sibling of server/, ui/, windows/ and installer/. Its upstream commit, and exactly what the Windows specialization removed, are recorded in UPSTREAM.md. Treat it as first-party code: reviewed, formatted and tested like anything else here, no longer merged from upstream.

Directory Purpose
core/, quanpin/, shuangpin/, english/, japanese/ Input sessions and candidate lookup
contracts/ The authoritative IPC wire format, dictionary format, punctuation policy and WebView message schema
helpcode/ Helpcode (形码) tables and generators
local_modes/, providers/, user_dictionary/ Local modes, online candidate sources, the user dictionary
voice/ Recording, WAV encoding, recognition and text cleanup; builds independently
googlepinyinime-rev/, utfcpp/, voice/third_party/ Vendored third-party code, kept in its upstream formatting and licence

Integration is through <metasequoia/session.h>. See runtime architecture.

Build

The product build does not build this directory on its own: server/CMakeLists.txt pulls it in with add_subdirectory, so CI compiles and exercises the engine through the server and the TSF frontend. After changing something here, run the server's build and tests.

Building it standalone still works and is much faster while working on the engine. Dependencies are CMake 3.25+, a C++17 compiler, Boost, fmt, spdlog and SQLite3.

vcpkg install --triplet x64-windows-static
cmake -S . -B build -DCMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE="$env:VCPKG_INSTALLATION_ROOT/scripts/buildsystems/vcpkg.cmake" -DVCPKG_TARGET_TRIPLET=x64-windows-static
cmake --build build --config Release --parallel
ctest --test-dir build -C Release --output-on-failure --timeout 20

ctest runs every engine target registered in the root CMakeLists.txt: the segmentation, IPC and punctuation contracts, the platform API, data paths, runtime isolation, dictionary state and the per-mode session tests. tests/ additionally holds a separate Windows-only project that is not part of that build — add new tests to the registered targets so they actually run.

Formatting is driven from the repository root by scripts/format.sh, using the .clang-format in this directory (voice/ has its own with a wider column limit). The vendored third-party trees and the generated headers are excluded.

Contract rules

The IPC wire format, opcodes, voice framing and WebView message definitions live in contracts/ and are the single source of truth. Consumers include the same headers; do not restate them on either side. Dictionary naming is defined by contracts/dictionary/format.json, shared with the repository root's scripts/dictionary_product.py.

Data and licensing

The dictionaries are neither stored nor built here. They arrive as a release pinned by tag and digest in product-lock.json and are downloaded at build time; the pipeline that produced them left with the specialization. Per-source licensing is tracked in NOTICE.md — read it before redistributing the built databases.

Recognition goes through a cloud provider; local Whisper inference was removed. The only committed model is voice/assets/models/silero_vad.onnx, loaded solely by the standalone Windows host that is off by default.

Licence

GPL-3.0. Vendored googlepinyinime-rev, utfcpp and voice/third_party/miniaudio keep their upstream licences.
