 **Work In Progress**
 
+## Preface
+
+The final goal of this repository is making a viable solution for programmer,
+who is familiar with GUI application development on POSIX system
+and want to find a workable way to setup file associations on Windows for their developed software
+without learning too much Win32 knowledge.
+
+So considering this premise, this library will NOT assist those professional Windows developer
+for setting up those complex Windows shell functions, such as the interaction with Explorer preview panel,
+or adding extra entries in menu.
+
+In brief words, this library only do one thing. Setup and check file associations for your application,
+and make it at least works.
+
 ## Introduction
 
 * `wfassoc`: Core Rust library. Rust programmer can directly utilize it.

+
+A Qt Widgets based GUI for the [wfassoc](../../wfassoc) library, split into a
+reusable shared library and a small standalone executable that exercises it.

+
+## Subprojects at a glance
+
+### `qwfassoc` (shared library)
+
+Exports two reusable widgets that wrap wfassoc:
+
+* `qwfassoc::ApplicationWidget` — install / uninstall the program in the
+  configured scope.
+* `qwfassoc::AssociationWidget` — stage and apply per-extension link / unlink
+  operations.
+
+Both widgets follow the **two-phase initialization** pattern expected by Qt
+Designer promoted widgets: the constructor only takes a `QWidget*` parent and
+leaves the widget disabled. A `setConfig(Config)` method injects the
+`wfassocpp::Program` pointer and `TargetScope` (and, for the association
+widget, whether the OK/Cancel buttons are visible). Each widget also exposes:
+
+* a `refresh()` slot that re-queries the live wfassoc state, intended to be
+  called by the host when another component has mutated the registry;
+* a `changed()` signal emitted whenever the widget itself mutates the
+  registry (install / uninstall / apply);
+* (`AssociationWidget` only) a `finished(bool accepted)` signal emitted when
+  the user clicks OK (after `changed()`) or Cancel, so the host can close the
+  dialog.
+
+The library also exposes the plain `qwfassoc::Manifest` data struct and a
+`qwfassoc::icon_utils::fromHicon()` helper, but the TOML parsing logic (which
+depends on toml11) lives in the standalone executable.
+
+### `qwfassoc-standalone` (executable)
+
+Reproduces the original tabbed wfassoc configurator by:
+
+1. parsing `-c/--manifest <path>` and `-f/--for <user|system>` from the
+   command line;
+2. building a `wfassocpp::Program` via `parseManifestFile` + `buildSchema`;
+3. hosting `ApplicationWidget` and `AssociationWidget` inside a `QTabWidget`
+   in a `MainWindow` dialog;
+4. wiring the widgets' `changed()` and `finished()` signals so that any
+   registry mutation refreshes both pages and OK/Cancel drive the dialog's
+   acceptance.
+
+## Requirements
+
+* **CMake** 3.20 or newer (3.21+ recommended for `qt6_add_translations`).
+* A C++17 compiler.
+* **Qt 6** with the `Widgets` and `LinguistTools` components.
+* **wfassoc**, with `wfassoc_ROOT` pointing at an installed tree (see
+  [`cmake/Findwfassoc.cmake`](cmake/Findwfassoc.cmake) for the expected
+  directory layout).
+* **toml11** — only required when building the standalone executable.
+
+## Building
+
+```bat
+cmake -S . -B build ^
+    -DCMAKE_PREFIX_PATH=C:\Qt\6.x.x\msvc2022_64 ^
+    -Dwfassoc_ROOT=C:\path\to\wfassoc\install ^
+    -Dtoml11_DIR=C:\path\to\toml11\share\toml11\cmake
+cmake --build build --config Release
+```
+
+To skip the standalone executable (and the toml11 dependency):
+
+```bat
+cmake -S . -B build -DQWFASSOC_BUILD_STANDALONE=OFF ...
+```
+
+The standalone executable is `build/qwfassoc-standalone/Release/qwfassoc-standalone.exe`
+(or similar, depending on the generator); the library is
+`build/qwfassoc/Release/qwfassoc.dll`.
+
+## Running the standalone executable
+
+| Short | Long         | Meaning                                                                  |
+| ----- | ------------ | ------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
+| `-c`  | `--manifest` | Path to the application manifest TOML file (see [`example/manifest/ppic.toml`](../manifest/ppic.toml)). |
+| `-f`  | `--for`      | Target scope: `user` or `system`.                                        |
+
+```bat
+qwfassoc-standalone -c C:\path\to\ppic.toml -f user
+```
+
+## Internationalization
+
+Source strings are English and every user-facing string is wrapped in `tr()`
+(in code) or is a plain `<string>` element in the `.ui` file (which `uic`
+wraps in `QCoreApplication::translate`).
+
+Each subproject ships its own empty placeholder `.ts` file under its
+`i18n/` directory and registers it with `qt6_add_translations()`:
+
+* `qwfassoc/i18n/qwfassoc_zh_CN.ts` — covers the library widgets.
+* `qwfassoc-standalone/i18n/qwfassoc-standalone_zh_CN.ts` — covers the
+  executable-specific messages (CLI errors, tab titles, dialog window
+  title, etc.).
+
+At runtime, `installTranslators()` in `qwfassoc-standalone/src/main.cpp`
+loads both `.qm` files for the user's preferred UI language from the
+`:/i18n/` resource prefix. Translators are expected to fill in the `.ts`
+files; no actual translation work is performed by the build on its own.
+
+## Notes and Limitations
+
+* "Self" detection in the file-association table is based on comparing the
+  display name returned by wfassoc with the display name this program would
+  use. Two programs sharing the exact same display name could therefore be
+  confused.
+* The system column in `AssociationWidget` is rendered disabled (using
+  `Qt::ItemIsSelectable` without `Qt::ItemIsEnabled`) when `TargetScope` is
+  `User`; the cells stay visible but cannot be clicked.
+* All errors originating from wfassoc are surfaced through `QMessageBox`
+  dialogs; fatal errors during startup cause the process to exit with a
+  non-zero status code.

-# Wfassoc C/C++ Library

 For how to utilize this library, please see our example located in `example/ppic`. It is a Qt project built with CMake and demonstrate basically all usage of exposed functions in this dynamic library.
 
 All crucial spots are written in this example as the code comment so I don't write them in there again.
+
+Due to the limitation of Rust compiler, you may need to enable `RUSTC_BOOTSTRAP=1` environment when creating binding (it is not necessary for just building this dynamic library). See [this GitHub issue](https://github.com/mozilla/cbindgen/issues/1015) for more info.

 This crate provides low level API and high level API for manipulating Windows file associations at the same time.
 For the convenient use of this project, the root module of this crate re-expose high level API.
@@ -10,3 +12,21 @@ Oppositely, for visiting low level API, please use `lowlevel` module.
 
 If you are a programmer who want to take a deep into the internal implementations,
 see `win32` module and its submodules for detail.
+
+## Test Notes
+
+Some tests of this crate may be dangerous because they need to manipulate Windows Registry.
+So it is highly recommend that run these tests in sandbox environment.
+In detailed words, you should run `cargo test --no-run` to build all test first,
+then fetch the path to executable tests according to this command shown on console.
+Then execute these executable tests in your sandbox for testing this crate.
+Additionally, some tests also need Administration permission for testing,
+because it requires write permission in HKLM.
+
+If you do not test it with sandbox and administrative environment,
+test program will assert paniked and tell you how to resolve these issues.
+
+The reason why do not run `cargo test` in sandbox environment directly,
+is that `cargo` can not find built tests located in host machine.
+It will try to fetch all dependencies again and rebuild test in sandbox entirely.
+So we use this complex way for testing.
