Using DGUSTools v7.624 to Create/Edit/Generate DWIN UIs

[Thinkersbluff]

At Release 0.3.1, I created the DGUS Tools & References [folder] on this repo, to collect various tools and references that I hope will help others to experiment with the creation and editing of DWIN_SET applications.

It usually does not make a lot of sense to copy resources here, when they are already online elsewhere. It has been my experience, however, that finding precisely the right tools and references for maintaining applications for the CR6 stock DWIN displays in particular has been a difficult challenge. My goal with this folder is to curate a collection of the specific tools and references that best support this project.

Up until (and including) v0.3.1, I did all of the DWIN UI development work using the DGUSTool labelled DGUS_Tool_V8.2.1.14; the same tool with which I completed refactoring the CF6.1 Community Firmware DWIN_SET. The menus are sometimes a bit arcane, in their choice of terminology and workflow, but I was able to find my way around well enough.

At v0.3 - in January of 2023 - I discovered that there are a growing number of YouTube videos referencing DGUSTool v7.624. This was also the only version of the DGUSTools that I could find posted to the DWIN DGUS Tool Page.

Since this version of the tools seems to be the best documented online, and since the menu translation to English now seems to be completed for these tools (whereas the v8.2.1.14 menus are not fully translated), I have now adopted DGUSTool v7.624 for all development work on this UI, moving forward. I recommend that you do the same.

If you have questions or comments about DGUSTool v7.624, please post them below...

UPDATE: After posting the above, I discovered that the 7.624 tool does NOT generate DWIN_SET apps that run on all versions of DGUS2, so I STOPPED using that went back to using DGUSTool v8.2.1.14, and deleted the v7.624 version from the repo.
