Graphical explorer for RenPy Archives. This tool brings ability to extract, create new or change existing RPA archives all in one window. It also provides content preview for most common files in these packages. Initial parser code was inspired by RPATools, so in case you find this tool useful, go give them a thumbs up as well. Now it even can try to preview compiled RenPy files (conditions apply1).
Note
This is a fan made application and there is no guarantee of further development or fixes. External libraries are used for decompilation1 and media playback2, which are downloaded at runtime and may take up a surprising amount of space and processing power, are not the responsibility of the authors, and may become unavailable at any time. Use at your own risk.
- Text: py, rpy, txt, log, nfo, htm, html, xml, json, yaml, toml, csv

- There's a bug in .NET's TreeView that can cause whether an item is checked or not to become out of sync with its appearance and children. Please take a moment between checking or unchecking things to avoid this issue.
- Some multimedia files don't include enough information for VLC to calculate positions or durations. This is a limitation of the file, not VLC.
- There's an issue in VLCSharp that causes it to repeatedly unload and reload VLC instead of reusing it between previews. Because of the large number of codecs included in VLC, this can cause the app to freeze if an unload coincidentally collides with a reload. More investigation is necessary, but in the meantime please take your time changing selections between media.
