How to create new projects / save projects in GUI2PY

[Alice Meade]

Hi,

I am new to GUI2PY. I have downloaded and installed everything. I opened up the Minimal sample project. My questions are:

1) How do I create a new project?
2) How do I save changes to existing projects?

I don't see a menu anywhere for performing these functions. The only menu I see is Python. I am working on a Mac.

Thanks,
Alice

Hi Alice

GUI2PY doesn't has the "project" concept, to be as simple as possible, they are just python windows files (pyw) or resources (like pythoncard).

You can start a new one just by copying some of the current samples:

https://github.com/reingart/gui2py/blob/master/minimal.pyw

or

https://github.com/reingart/gui2py/blob/master/starter.py

https://github.com/reingart/gui2py/blob/master/starter.rsrc.py

You can edit them just invoking the designer:

copy minimal.pyw myapp.pyw
python -m gui.tools.designer myapp.pyw

When you close the designer, the changes will be saved to the file.

I'll add proper support for rad2py (IDE) but that will take some time.
