@cvp, very cool! Works perfectly. Thanks a lot!

I have a image in the pillow format PIL.Image (generate via Image.new()) and I want to display it in a ui.ImageView component.

ImageView has an image property, but it is of type ui.Image, not of type PIL.Image.

What can I do? How do I convert PIL.Image to ui.Image?

Thanks heaps for any pointers!

I am building a little share extension with a view UI. For this UI I need a few extra variables along side the view of the extension.

What's the best place to store these variables?

• Global variables (either individually or as a class object with attributes)?

or

• Using a sub-classed View just to hold these variables in the UI?

Thanks @ccc! I thought so, but good to be sure.

I'm back on Pythonista! Used it quite a bit a few years ago for some automation and it's cool that it is still going strong! :-)

But now I'm playing with UIs: Is it possible to develop and run scripts using the ui module and */pyui files on a (non-M1) Mac? Is there a version of the ui module available which runs with normal Mac/Linux versions of Python?

I saw in this forum that Pythonista itself seems to run on M1 Macs, but unfortunately I am way off getting a new Mac...

Thanks for any pointers!

@mikael Good to know. Thanks!

Thanks @mikael

Much appreciated your tip. I will try this. :-)

(Very strange though that I didn't not get any email notification about your reply... Does this forum not send emails out???)

When I put a UI element via @ui.in_background in the background, how can I react to the result in my normal (foreground) flow?

Say I have dialogs.list_dialog and I want to do something with the result of the list in my main function. Can I somehow wait for the result ?

Thanks @cvp!

So can I decorate my whole main() of the share extension (which includes the ans = dialogs.list_dialog call) with @ui.in_background?
