From 0aa59c13af65beeae104662593b21ba4d8a37789 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Christian Kolset Date: Sat, 1 Aug 2026 19:06:36 -0600 Subject: Rename LabDAQ → LabUI and overhaul plugin system MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Branding: - Rename app, window title, file extension (.labdaq → .labui), user data dirs (~/.labui/), spec file (labdaq.spec → labui.spec), and APP_NAME throughout all source, docs, and config files Plugin system: - Plugins no longer bundled in the PyInstaller build — installed at runtime by users via Settings → Plugins → Install Plugin (zip) - PluginManager now takes user_dir + extra_scan_dirs; user plugins live in ~/.labui/plugins/, dev scan additionally covers project plugins/ - install_from_zip / uninstall / is_user_installed added to PluginManager - vendor/ dir inside plugin zips: prepended to sys.path at load time so plugins can ship their own deps without requiring pip on end-user machine - source_url field in manifest.json: shown as Download button in the missing-plugins dialog when a profile requires an absent plugin - Frozen-app pip install now targets ~/.labui/plugin_packages/ using a real system Python (sys.executable is the exe in frozen builds) Profile loading: - Profile now stores plugins_manifest snapshot (id, name, version, source_url) alongside plugins_enabled - On load, missing or dep-broken plugins trigger MissingPluginsDialog before the rest of the profile is applied; user can install from zip or download via source_url in-dialog, or cancel the load - Plugin reconciliation only enables installed plugins — missing ones are not written to enabled.json UI: - Version label added to status bar (bottom-right, muted colour) - Settings → Plugins tab: Install Plugin… button, per-plugin Remove button for user-installed plugins, live list refresh after install/remove Docs: - New docs/building.md covers the full release pipeline - docs/plugin-development.md updated for new install flow, vendoring, source_url, profile behaviour, and distribution instructions Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 --- main.py | 9 +++++++-- 1 file changed, 7 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) (limited to 'main.py') diff --git a/main.py b/main.py index ede6277..96dab8a 100644 --- a/main.py +++ b/main.py @@ -1,5 +1,5 @@ """ -main.py — LabDAQ entry point. +main.py — LabUI entry point.
