I think (under British Copyright law) you have to specify every single year you worked on/altered the source.

Well, here is a simple GUI I made for it!
Don't think there are any bugs, but please report if you find them.
Code: Select all
Enumeration ;-Enumerate gadgets
#Path
#Browse
#Level
#Compress
EndEnumeration
LoadFont(0,"Arial",8,#PB_Font_Bold)
;-Open window
OpenWindow(0,#False,#False,250,55,"JLC's UPX GUI v1.0",#PB_Window_SystemMenu|#PB_Window_ScreenCentered)
CreateGadgetList(WindowID(0))
SetGadgetFont(TextGadget(#PB_Any,5,5,25,20,"EXE:"),FontID(0))
StringGadget(#Path,30,5,150,20,"")
ButtonGadget(#Browse,185,5,60,20,"Browse")
SetGadgetFont(TextGadget(#PB_Any,5,30,120,20,"Compression level:"),FontID(0))
ComboBoxGadget(#Level,120,30,60,200)
ButtonGadget(#Compress,185,30,60,20,"Compress")
;-Add levels
For Level=1 To 9
AddGadgetItem(#Level,-1,"Level "+Str(Level))
Next
AddGadgetItem(#Level,-1,"Best")
AddGadgetItem(#Level,-1,"Insane")
SetGadgetState(#Level,9)
Repeat
WindowEvent = WaitWindowEvent()
Select WindowEvent
Case #PB_Event_Gadget
Select EventGadget()
Case #Browse ;-Browse
SetGadgetText(#Path,OpenFileRequester("Select executable:","","Executable (*.exe)|*.exe",0))
Case #Compress ;-Compress
If GetGadgetText(#Path) > "" And FileSize(GetGadgetText(#Path)) > 0
Select GetGadgetState(#Level)
Case 0 To 8
Parameter$ = "-"+Str(GetGadgetState(#Level)+1)+" "
Case 9
Parameter$ = "--best "
Case 10
Parameter$ = "--brute "
EndSelect
OldSize = FileSize(GetGadgetText(#Path))
If RunProgram("upx.exe",Parameter$+Chr(34)+GetGadgetText(#Path)+Chr(34),"",#PB_Program_Wait)
If Oldsize = FileSize(GetGadgetText(#Path))
MessageRequester("Warning","File was not compressed, maybe it's allready compressed?",#MB_ICONWARNING)
Else
MessageRequester("Done","Old size: "+Str(OldSize)+#CRLF$+"New size: "+Str(FileSize(GetGadgetText(#Path))),#MB_ICONINFORMATION)
EndIf
Else

Don't think there are any bugs
Really asking for it, eh? Good job! Works well except I found a bug. The dropdown only shows "Best" for me, clicking the downarrow doesn't give any more options.

Sorry, I was using it with "enable xp skin support" and then it works!
But thanks, updated it now!

That's the stuff that makes programming fun, eh? I guess it pulls the control from a different library for the skin support and it works slightly different.
