Schedule Card Creator (Version 2.2.1)

The Schedule Card Creator Program allows you to create, save, copy and print a schedule card to either place outside your office or post on your personal web pages. The Windows and Linux (Ubuntu 20.04) distributions were created using pyinstaller and do not need you to have Python3 or PySide2 installed to run. For the Mac or other platforms the source code can be used, these require your system to have both Python3 and PySide2 installed.

Update History
9/26/22: Version 2.2.1
  • Removed the QWebEngine objects, the Mac app created with pyinstaller failed to run with this tool. This tool was being used only for the internal help browser. The help system wil now open up in the system's default web browser. An added bonus is that the executable programs on all platforms are significantly smaller and hence load faster.
  • Made a few minor UI changes, nothing that affects the schedule files or output facilities.
