Some considerations:

• How will directories be kept track of in the file list, since pathtransform has different behaviour for them?
• Maybe I should just have completely different path logic for the GUI version?
• Or should I have it show the directory as a clickable list item, and the files in it listed underneath as read-only items?
• Or should I change the GUI and have it convert immediately when you drag files on it instead of using a queue? This would be much simpler to write, but it'd be more confusing to use.
  • Or do I do a combination of this and my original idea by having a split pane with the added files on the left and a preview on the right? This might be the best option since it keeps the code free from dealing with two-way interaction with the file list, and it prevents the UI from becoming confusing or buggy with overlapping directories (since pathtransform considers all inputs holistically rather than providing a list of files for each input). The only disadvantage is a slightly more cluttered interface.
• Something else?

A GUI is a good idea, and will feel more intuitive to most users.
For consideration. Why develop a (stand-alone app/executable file) GUI when you can also use a web browser for this purpose? After all, you've already developed the web application. And easier to maintain.

The locally running file (i.e. kepubify-windows-64bit.exe) opens a web browser and then performs all the tasks locally. No Internet connection is required.
