New moddern pack creator with simple UI

Hey all,
so, I thought it was time to finally get rid of the old bgt pack creator with 3 input boxes and only one pack configuration file at once.
So I've sat down today and wrote a new pack creator using the resource_packer class by Ivan.
This pack creator has a simple UI, you can store several pack configurations in a simple ini file, and creaate a pack with 1 click.
Enjoy, and I'm happy to hear about your feedback!

Nicely done! Just tested and it seems to work well.

Doesn't the save dialog function lag when using in form? Would that be my OS issue? Or nvgt itself?

Indeed it lags (windows 10), but I never heard that has to do with form?

Yeah if I use it in the main function without showing window it doesn't lag. So it's probably with NVGT's UI window show system

This has been very laggy for me as well.

you made first pack creator working on macOS

The pack_creator.nvgt in the other folder of the repo works as well, it's just old and crappy. So in short no, but the first somewhat good. Even though this thing needs a lot polishing as of now.
Also I want to support sqlite_packs at this point since I'm gonna end up switching to them probably, so I'll have to modify the resource_packer include a bit but for now I kinda have no time or real need to do it so yeah. idk. Feel free to pr something interesting XD

no, it doesn't, if you use a mac.
but yours, does perrrrrrrfectly, just give me sound encryption

because it doesn't find files for whatever reason.

Lol why does it not? Doo we seriously have no sdl input boxes on Mac OS?
Anyway sound encryption will come with the mini audio port, has nothing to do with the pack creator at this moment.

we do, but, it'll find 0 files and try to pack them.

That's probably because it uses backslashes, not slashes in the find_files() call. If you change them, does it work?
