GUI does not launch

[MackieBlackburn]

Trying to open the GUI on Windows PC gives the following error:

I just tried on SC 3.11 / Windows 10, and it works for me. What SC version are you running?

Is it just the GUI that is not working? (what happens if you run SCLOrkSynths.load?

[MackieBlackburn]

This is the output I get from running SCLOrkSynths.load. It seems to be working but it also says "0 SynthDefs available"

It would be helpful if this repo had a sentence or two for installation instructions. I've put the folder in the "extensions" folder for SuperCollider and also tried loading it using quarks but both seemed to have the same error.

[brunoruviaro]

Can you try this? (it will remove any prior installation of SCLOrkSynths, then attempt a fresh install):

Step 1. Attempt to uninstall through code
Quarks.uninstall("SCLOrkSynths");

Step 2. Now go to the Quarks folder (Quarks.openFolder;), then manually delete any SCLOrkSynths folder there (whether it's "SCLOrkSynths" or "SCLOrkSynths-master", delete them all).

Step 3. Now go to SuperCollider Preferences (from the menus), then under "Interpreter", remove any SCLOrkSynths path that you see in the "include:" box. Simply select the path you want to delete and hit the 'minus' button.

Step 4. Restart SuperCollider now. At this point, all prior installations of SCLOrkSynths should be gone.

Step 5. Make sure your Quarks directory is up to date:
Quarks.fetchDirectory;

Step 6. Now a fresh install of SCLOrkSynths:
Quarks.install("SCLOrkSynths");

Step 7. Restart SuperCollider again (or simply recompile class library from the Language menu).

Hopefully now SCLOrkSynths.gui will work. Let me know.

I found out I had an issue with Git on my computer and Quarks were not working properly. After fixing that I was able to install this and it works fine thank you.
