[FEATURE REQUEST]: Import Code

[Eiion]

Feature Description

Just like the Export feature creates the code for the created UI, another button that allows uploading code to edit an existing UI would be great.

Functionalities of the Feature

It seems like the perfect way to either correct or simply edit an existing UI where e.g. buttons are misplaced or sizing/placement just is not visually appealing.
With the PyUIBuilder this would be an intuitive way to make changes and play around with what we have, much like starting out with a template, but specific to what we have.

This is a new feature request

This sounds interesting, but would become a hassle, because it users may have added code in different files and may require parsing all of the code. But I'll keep this issue open, just incase we plan it in the future.

You'll however be able to load and save pyui design soon.

I see the importance that Eiion asked. and understand the the complexity, maybe, putting something like a tag that can inform the code below is for ui only.

@cesarsferreira Can you explain a bit more? I didn't quite get that.

[cesarsferreira]

Hello Paul,
i was thinking like this:
as you can export to python like this:

This code is generated by PyUIbuilder: https://pyuibuilder.com

import tkinter as tk

app1 = tk.Tk()
app1.config(bg="#E4E2E2")
app1.title("Main")
app1.geometry("700x400")

entertext = tk.Entry(master=app1)
entertext.config(bg="#fff", fg="#000")
entertext.place(x=272, y=115, width=120, height=40)

button = tk.Button(master=app1, text="Button")
button.config(bg="#E4E2E2", fg="#000")
button.place(x=292, y=210, height=40)

app1.mainloop()

i think this you can revert? to make it possible to import to pyuibuilder

the other way, more complex:

i normaly i put the code gui in a part of the code, normaly at the end, what makes it possible to add manualy in my code a TAG like for example: "BeginImportCode" and then at the end of the gui code, put something like "EndImportCode", this will inform the importer from pyuibuilder, to consider only that code to import. may be it´s a bad idea? i don´t know.
regards and good job, i´ll be waiting for using your full app.

[PaulleDemon]

@cesarsferreira maybe we can do it, but it can be hard. But we'll see what's possible once the items on the roadmap is complete

Best,
Paul

[cesarsferreira]

OK Paul,
It was only an idea, and you have a roadmap to work hard, as you are working.
Regards
César

P.S. Just a question related to pro license. I bought it from you, but till now i didn´t received any license key, to use it.

[PaulleDemon]

@cesarsferreira i had emailed the license key to everyone including you, can you check your spam? I have also resent you now.
The subject line is PyUIBuilder license key. Let me know if you got it or I'll message you on discord

[cesarsferreira]

Thank You Paul,
now i´ve received the license key, sorry for the inconvenient.
keep de good work
regards
