Rambles that are fluffy, by fluffy
I’ve made a bunch of progress on the GUI for bandcrash! After a bunch of false starts trying to figure out the “easy” and/or “right” way of doing things, I ended up just doing things the kinda-boneheaded way, using Qt and way too much stateful boilerplate. I figure that Working is better than Nonexistent, and someone who’s better at GUI shit than me could probably come along and improve things later.
Do people ever read these things? Or do people just like knowing that I’m still alive? Either way here’s a “I’m still alive” post.
As mentioned earlier today, the pyBlamscamp name was incredibly confusing and needed to be changed. Thankfully, blackle mori (who made blamscamp in the first place) came up with a much better name suggestion, “Bandcrash.” I have now renamed pyBlamscamp and its associated Python package appropriately. The blamscamp pypi project now just exists as a thin wrapper around bandcrash and its usage should be discontinued.
Existing installations should continue to work (and might even pull in future updates!) but it’s highly recommended that any scripts, venvs, etc. that rely on it be updated with the new package.
And of course this gives me even more of an impetus to finally write that damn GUI.
