gui pitch

[JoeKae]

What is this?

This draft PR is intended to have a discussion with active collaboration regarding the new gui.

This is a pitch for a gui. The framework used is Pyside6.
I did watch some tutorials on youtube and made this mockup using the Qt designer.

Menu structure idea

The idea is to have 3 main screens.

1. Home: How to use (Maybe ? icon is better)
2. List: List of all dropped files with buttons to convert all, convert single file, change settings for file
3. settings: The default settings for all files that are dropped into the app

The app should show the second screen on startup.

Everything is subject to change.

How to use this?

Prerequisites

• Python >=3.10
• Pyside6

pip install pyside6

Run

Run the gui_v2.py file.

Edit gui

Use the Qt designer, located in your virtual environment directory: Lib\site-packages\PySide6\designer.exe
After doing changes run make gui in a terminal.

Code documentation

The code is not well documented yet, as frequent major changes are to be expected.

@JoeKae I'm getting the following error:

[JoeKae]

I forgot to add the resource file. Try it again.

[YarosMallorca]

It opens now, but doesn't do anything, doesn't allow me to drag the waypoints file into the window. Is it UI only?

[JoeKae]

This is just a mockup so we can work exclusively on the gui. I suggest that functionalities will be added as soon as the gui meets your expectations.
