UI2Py – PySide6 Edition

A simple yet powerful GUI tool to convert one or multiple Qt Designer .ui files into Python code using PySide6.

✨ Features

• Batch Conversion: Convert multiple .ui files to .py files at once.
• Drag & Drop Support: Simply drag your .ui files onto the application window.
• Automatic Naming: Output files are intelligently named ui_<filename>.py.
• Customizable Output: For single files, you can easily edit the output name.
• Dark/Light Theme: The application automatically adapts to your system's theme.

🆘 Troubleshooting

• pyside6-uic not found on PATH Make sure PySide6 tools are installed and your terminal can run pyside6-uic.

• No permission to write file Choose a folder where you have write permissions (e.g., your home or desktop folder).

• Wrong file type Only .ui files are supported.

• Mixed file types dropped Only .ui files will be processed. Other file types will be ignored.

• Duplicate output names Output names are auto-generated as ui_<filename>.py. Ensure all input filenames are unique to avoid overwriting.
