Hey! I took a look at the GitHub repo for vs-preview, and it seems like it's a command-line tool. I didn't see any mention of a GUI. It's possible that you might need to create your own GUI or use a third-party tool to visualize the data

Third-party tool? Like what?

vs-preview literally is a GUI.

If you need to preview a script in the GUI, then ensure vs-preview is properly installed, and run "vspreview yourscript.vpy" on the command line, and the GUI will launch and display the results of your script.

I want to be able to open vspreview without needing a script. How do I do that?

I think this is not possible, it requires a script.

It does require a script, per the 'usage' section of the readme: https://github.com/Jaded-Encoding-Thaumaturgy/vs-preview?tab=readme-ov-file#usage

There's a few other editors that exist, like vsedit or maybe Yuuno that offer a more "avspmod" like experience but I'm not sure how maintained they are.

It's a lot of work to offer a fully backed text editor *and* a Vapoursynth previewer. That's why vs-preview is designed around you using a real text editor (like Notepadd++, vim/Neovim, Sublime, etc etc) to handle all of your writing needs, and then it just handles the actual preview.

In order to use vspreview you must have a .vpy script. Vscode helps in writing it by giving typehints and showing docstrings. If basic python is too much of a hurdle then your options for using VS are gonna be very limited.
