Unit Wizard

Description

This is a conversion program for units and some numeric conversions.

Initially the unit conversions supported is a short list of common ones, which I plan to grow over time.

Features of the program include:

• swapping between from and to fields: units, values or both,
• dark and light color themes,
• preferences saved for color theme
• last unit selections and input value saved on exit and restored on start
• input field checked for proper unit format. Displays an inline error when invalid.
• range checks on values. Displays an inline error message if a value is out of range for the unit, ex. negative values for Kelvin.

Supported conversions:

• Area
• Distance/Length
• Mass
• Numeral Systems
• Speed
• Temperature
• Torque
• Volume

See the forum post for details of units included.

Changelog:

• 0.0.2 - initial release
• 0.0.3 - add Mass, Torque. Add numlock(orange key). Remove keypress filter so all key hits are visible.

More units to be added:

• Coordinates (Cartesian, Geographic, Cylindrical)
• date->doy
• kitchen units (separate category, easier to access)
• pressure, density, angle, fuel consumption, energy, power, etc
• ascii
• numerals: Eastern Arabic (Arabic-Indic)
• File and memory storage (KB MB GB TB to bytes)
• IEEE-754 Floating-Point Conversion from Floating-Point to Hexadecimal and reverse
• Decimal to fractions
• suggestions??

Functionality to be added:

• reset prefs
• save last used units for each category
• save conversions to a list
• add reference pages
• add multiconvert scene: show all conversion results simultaneously for units in a category
• International number formatting (comma vs period)
• fractional digits setting
• suggestions??
