The EverDrive Packs List Database UI is Graphical User Interface for the EverDrive Packs Lists Project for easier usage.
This application requires the pack scripts folder, as such it accepts a
parameter containing the pack scripts folder, it also can save the scripts
location for later usage on an ini file (gui_pack.ini), it also have logic to
look for the pack scripts in some common places; in case none of the above
methods result in a valid pack scripts folder the UI will present the user with
a dialog to select a pack scripts folder, if no scripts folder is selected the
build and parse buttons will be disabled.
The UI uses file dialogs to help on selecting folders and files, performs some basic validation, then you have the option of obtaining the command to copy and pasted on a console to run it from there, or execute the command from within the UI itself.
The interface consists of 2 tabs, one for build_pack.py (default tab) and the other for parse_pack.py.

The first 3 input fields are required, the 4th is optional also the advanced options are present and preselected to default values, be careful with this ones.
