It should be a bit easier to use as there are less options and no command-line arguments to deal with. The output is still directed to a text box so you can see what's going on and deal with errors.
Interfaces are not my strong suit, so any suggestions are welcome 
The source is available at the same place as the original, https://code.google.com/p/xray-builder/, under the "gui" repo.
I rushed through the readme file so it may not be entirely clear.
Let me know if there are any issues with it. It seemed to work fine on my system, but I haven't had a chance to test it in any other environments yet. |
I just attempted to test this. I selected my book, entered the mobi file and got the following error. (This may be because the book didn't have an ASIN properly)
"Running kindleunpack to get metadata"
"Error: Missing metadata."
"Database Name: A_Game_Of_Thrones"
"ASIN:"
"UniqueID: 2785203474"
After the error, if I click on any buttons, the window that should popup does, but cannot be focused on. For instance, I clicked on "Settings" after the error and now the gui acts like it's hung, but really the setting menu is opened behind the main window. I know this, because I can see it in my Aero Peek on the windows toolbar, but clicking on it does not bring focus. I can close it from Aero Peek and then the GUI doesn't act hung anymore, but I still can't click on anything.
Also, I don't know if it's possible, but being able to drag'n'drop a file to the "Book" field would be nice too.
