Description
The current version of the X-ray Image Effect tool operates via a command-line interface, which, while functional, may not be the most user-friendly approach for all potential users. To enhance accessibility and ease of use, there is a need to implement a graphical user interface (GUI).
Objectives
-
User-Friendly Interface: Develop a simple and intuitive GUI that allows users to easily select input and output directories, and view a list of supported image formats.
-
Image Preview: Implement functionality to preview images before and after the
X-ray effect is applied.
-
Batch Processing: Enable users to select and process multiple images simultaneously through the GUI.
-
Error Handling: Display user-friendly error messages in the GUI, especially for common issues like file format incompatibility or read/write permissions.
Cross-Platform Compatibility: Ensure that the GUI is compatible with different operating systems like Windows, macOS, and Linux.
Requirements
-
The GUI should be developed using a Python-compatible framework, such as Tkinter, PyQt, or Kivy.
-
The design should be clean and minimalistic, focusing on functionality and ease of use.
-
Integration with the existing logic of the application must be seamless and efficient.
Potential Challenges
-
Ensuring that the GUI is responsive and can handle large batches of images without significant performance drops.
-
Maintaining the simplicity of the interface while providing all necessary functionalities.
