Hi!
I know, a GUI for avisynth is discussed here lately. Another possibility is to use this Virtualdub-Mod with avisynth-support (texteditor & refresh with 'jump-to-the-current-frame'). Btw. i like this a lot.
One of the most common tasks in using avisynth is testing filters and their settings. And what you need here is a _direct_ response when you change values. Virtualdub-filters have dialogs with a Preview-functionality for that.
The avisynth-SDK could be extended for the ability that filters bring up a Dialog. Another option is, that support for avisynth-filters is added to Virtualdub. So the (to be written) filter-Dialogs would be opened inside Virtualdub...
A third possibility is, that avisynth gets a generic GUI-Dialog function _OR_ a generic GUI-Dialog filter is written. The parameter of this filter/function is the name of an avisynth-filter. The wrapper-filter/-function parses the calling-parameters of the given avisynth-filter and displays a Dialog. For every parameter, a GUI-Element is displayed. A ComboBox for fixed-Value/String parameters. A Slider for int or float parameters. A Checkbox for boolean parameters. Etc.
The Dialog would have a Preview-Area, where the Changes a displayed immediately.
The Dialog would also have a textfield which displays the calling-syntax of the avisynth-filter with the chosen parameters. You can the copy/paste this into you avisynth-script.
Your opinions?
bye, Malcolm
