Basic Usage

With Installation

You can create menu entries for MEAFS by typing in the terminal or cmd:

meafs-desktop-create

Then, search in the menu for MEAFS, and in Windows, a Desktop link will also be created.

Or, you can just type in the terminal or cmd:

meafs

Or:

python -m meafs_code

For the command line option, do not forget to activate the Anaconda environment if you are using it. For the menu entry, this is done automatically if necessary.

Since MEAFS is a Python library, you can always import it in your own program and run specific functions (see Package Overview):

import meafs_code as meafs

Without Installation

Simply execute the file meafs_code/gui.py and it will power the GUI.

Flags and Arguments

There are some flags that can be passed with the command-line.

-h, --help

Show the help section.

-v, --version

Show version number.

-l, --last

Load the last closed session. Default location is meafs_code/auto_save_last.pkl.

-s, --load-auto-save

Load the auto saved session. Default location is: meafs_code/auto_save.pkl.

Also, any saved section can be passed as an argument and MEAFS will power the GUI with it:

meafs path/to/session.pkl

If no argument is given, the GUI will power with a new empty session.

Auto Save Capability

In the File menu there is an Auto Save option. When checked, MEAFS will save the session every 60 seconds in a file named auto_save.pkl.

Also, if auto save is enabled, when MEAFS is closed, it will save the session in the auto_save_last.pkl file.

These files are located under the MEAFS directory and the -h flag will show their location.

To load any of these files, simply use the flags or load them in the File > Open… menu.
