GuiPy

Before installing GuiPy, you should have Python version 3.7 or higher installed. Python can be downloaded from http://www.python.org/.

A 64-bit version of GuiPy works only with a 64-bit version of Python and a 32-bit version of GuiPy works only with a 32-bit version of Python.

Download the latest personal version of GuiPy and run the installation. GuiPy will start and is ready for use.

Besides the standard installation it is possible to install GuiPy as portable software or for a PC room. Download the current special version, unzip the zip file and run the setup.exe program as administrator.

Use the corresponding button to select the desired installation folder. This can be a local folder or a folder on your network. In the latter case you use either the UNC-notation \\Server\NetworkShare\GuiPy or a network drive letter.

For a PC room, installation in a network folder is preferred, as a required update only needs to be made on the server and configuration presets can be made for all users.

In the GuiPy folder the file GuiPyMachine.INI is created, which contains the protected configuration settings and the global settings for all users. From this file GuiPy reads the path of the GuiPyUser.ini file, which contains the user-specific configurations.

As you can see in the picture, it is possible to use the %Username% variable to specify the path for GuiPyUser.ini. Normally this path is located in the user's home directory.

To set configuration settings globally for all users, copy them from a GuiPyUser.ini to the GuiPyMachine.ini file.

To set configuration settings globally for all users, copy them from a C:\Users\<Username>\AppData\Roaming\GuiPy\GuiPy.ini to the C:\Program Files\GuiPy\GuiPyMachine.ini file.

Example:
Die Registerkarten für Tkinter und TTK sollen nicht mehr angezeigt werden und im Dateimenü soll der zusätzliche Befehl Seiteneinrichtung angezeigt werden. Dazu entfernen Sie unter Werkzeuge\Konfiguration\Sichtbarkeit\Tabs die Häkchen bei Tkinter und TTK. Dann klicken Sie im Bereich Menüs auf Datei und haken Seiteneinrichtung an. Speichern Sie diese Einstellungen und beenden Sie GuiPy. Rufen Sie dann die Datei C:\Users\<Username>\AppData\Roaming\GuiPy\GuiPy.ini für ihren Benutzernamen auf. Im Abschnitt [GuiPy Options] finden Sie die Konfigurationseinstellungen der Sichtbarkeit. Davon werden diese beiden Einstellungen benötigt.

The tabs for Tkinter and TTK shall no longer be displayed and the additional command Page Setup shallappear in the file menu. To do this, uncheck Tkinter and TTK under Tools\Configuration\Visibility\Tabs. Then click on File in the Menus area and tick „Page Setup“. Save these settings and exit GuiPy. Then go to the C:\Users\<Username>\AppData\Roaming\GuiPy\GuiPy.ini file for your username. In the [GuiPy Options] section you will find the visibility configuration settings. These two settings are required.

 
VisTabs=10011
VisFileMenu=11100111011111011

Then open the file C:\Program Files\GuiPy\GuiPyMachine.ini or C:\Program Files (x86)\GuiPy\GuiPyMachine.ini with administrator rights and add:

[GuiPy Options] 
VisTabs=10011
VisFileMenu=11100111011111011

You can select the „Portable application“ option to install GuiPy as portable software that runs directly from a USB stick. GuiPy will then automatically use the drive of the USB stick.

If you also want to use Python from the USB stick, install Python on the USB stick or copy a Python folder from a hard drive to it. In GuiPy, add the Python on the USB stick as an „unregistered version“ in the Python configuration and activate this version.
