VSRepoGUI - A simple plugin manager for VapourSynth

[ChaosKing]

I made a simple gui for VSRepo.


Python.exe needs to be in PATH! You need .net 4.5.2 I think.

Source

Some feedback and feature requests would be nice.

Todo:
- fix bugs :P
- console output or better progressbar
- check if 7z is callable.

For a portable mode you need to create a "vsrepogui.json" text file in the same folder as the exe with the following contents:
(relative paths are now also supported)

{  
   "Bin":"D:\\PortableApps\\VapourSynth\\vsrepo\\abc d\\vsrepo.py",
   "win32": {
	"Binaries":"abc d\\p32",
	"Scripts":"..\\scripts"
   },
   "win64": {
	"Binaries":"D:\\PortableApps\\VapourSynth\\vsrepo\\abc d\\p64",
	"Scripts":"D:\\PortableApps\\VapourSynth\\vsrepo\\abc d\\scripts"
   }
}

The UI design looks quite good but it don't start here, it only shows up in task manager for 2-3 seconds.

[Myrsloik]

Doesn't start for me either.

[ChaosKing]

Try this -> Target .net 4.5.2: https://www.dropbox.com/s/h15qzjpdc0...UI_45.zip?dl=1

EDIT
hmm I tried it on a different pc and it also didn't start. There should be a message if vsrepo etc is not found. I'm investigating.

EDIT2
It seems that it happens while reading the VS regkey. Will update it tomorrow.

[ChaosKing]

OK please test again.
Would be better to add 4 Tabs (= 4 lists) for "installed, not installed, unknown version and update available" plugins instead of one big list?

[stax76]

The problem persists.

[lansing]

It still crashing on startup

[ChaosKing]

And no messagebox is shown? I only tested it on win10 64bit.

I had no try catch before.

RegistryKey localKey;
if (Environment.Is64BitOperatingSystem)
	localKey = RegistryKey.OpenBaseKey(RegistryHive.LocalMachine, RegistryView.Registry64);
else
	localKey = RegistryKey.OpenBaseKey(RegistryHive.LocalMachine, RegistryView.Registry32);

string reg_value = null;
try
{
	reg_value = (string)localKey.OpenSubKey("SOFTWARE\\VapourSynth").GetValue("Path");
} catch
{

	MessageBox.Show("Can not find your VapourSynth installation.");
	System.Environment.Exit(1);
}

Could you run this build https://www.dropbox.com/s/o0wj9l9tko...I_msg.zip?dl=1
It shows A, B, C etc
What is the last letter you're seeing?

[stax76]

it shows:

A0
A
B
C

that is all that shows, still no main windows, use a trace listener maybe.

It crashes after the first python call. It would indicate that python.exe is not in your Environment Variables thus it can't start the process.

I added a python check now. Redownload from 1st post.

You can call the gui now with a parameter .\VSRepoGUI.exe C:\Python37\python.exe

[stax76]

I did not have python in PATH probably because the official installer has disabled it by default, but the official installer installs the global py launcher by default.

I've reinstalled Python with PATH option enabled and rebooted but your app still don't start, it shows a console window for a few milliseconds.

python-3.7.3-amd64-webinstall.exe is what I installed.

[ChaosKing]

What OS are you using, win10 64bit?) Are you using the latest (installed) vapoursynth version? Typing python -V in powershell or cmd works?

I don't really see what I'm missing right now. I tested it on a another pc and everything is working fine. Maybe the debug build will provide more usefull information https://www.dropbox.com/s/qy398voe4d...debug.zip?dl=1

[stax76]

The Easiest way to find out is uploading the source code.

Use HKLM Software\Vapoursynth\PythonPath for automatic detection. That will always point to the base path of the python the vs module was installed to.

Thx will add it.

I found the problem! F**g quotes were missing, and I always used a custom install path (with no spaces in it) Redownload please.


/!\ YOU NEED also 7zip installed or 7z.exe in PATH for vsrepo.py to work correctly. Otherwise only a handfull plugins will work/install.

I will upload the source code later, after some cleaning :P

No idea if relevant or of use but maybe see here for when Path contains a double quote (I have seen this ghastly practice in real paths/filenames):- https://forum.doom9.org/showthread.p...75#post1871275
Is an avisynth solution but easily converted.

If the string itself contains double quotes then encapsulates in set of tripple double quotes, otherwise a single pair of double quotes.

EnQuot() for RT_Stats, EnQuot2() for avs v2.60 only (req FillStr v2,.60)

BlankClip(Width=320,height=64,color=-$FF000000)

S=""""We "have' a' " QU"ote or ' two"""

#S=""

Function EnQuot(string S) { Q=RT_StrPad("", S.RT_FindStr(Chr(34))==0 ? 1 : 3 ,Chr(34)) Return Q+S+Q }      # Req RT_Stats v1.43+
Function EnQuot2(string S) { Q=FillStr(S.FindStr(Chr(34))==0 ? 1 : 3 ,Chr(34))  Return Q+S+Q }              # Requires Avs v2.60 for FillStr

S=S.Enquot # RT
#S=S.Enquot2 # Avs v2.6

Subtitle(S)

Result without EnQuot.


Result with EnQuot.

It's working good, found some bugs,
- the search function doesn't work with the "hide installed" filtering
- the "current installed version" of the local filters is missing in the display
- the text from the "paths" dialog box need to be copyable
- the "win64" filtering option is pretty much obsolete now as vs and vseditor both moves away from 32 bit

I would also like the font size to be a little bigger.

It starts but out of screen bounds: https://postimg.cc/K1zTCBn9

Parsing the current installed version from vsrepos output is only reliable as long as there are no spaces within the version text. (Currently it seems what there are no spaces, but I encountered this in "AVSRepo") So I left it out for now.

Win64 - What if you have VS32bit and 64bit installed? But yes, the win64 checkbox is more relevant for AVSRepo.

Paths was more a button for me to test stuff. The PLUGINS and SCRIPTS buttons should be enough. I will remove it.

Height is set to 800 and minHeight to 600px. I will lower the minHeight.
What is your screen resolution?
