I want an app that will

  • read an AI2 .scm file,
  • extract the JSON part into a dictionary
  • scan the dictionary for broken Table Arrangements
  • fix them
  • export the new .scm file

The app would be needed only a few times a month at most by AI2 Power Users.

I want an app that will calculate the speed in my car for any given gear, and engine revolutions, given I have the original speedometer for a 948 engine and gearbox, but now I have a 1275 engine and gearbox, and a 3.7 differential instead of a 4.22 ...The rev counter (tacho) tells the truth.

If you'd really like to build that, we have a Python library called aiatools that can read App Inventor projects and execute queries over them, e.g.,

from aiatools import *
with AIAFile("project.aia") as proj:
    print("Do we have a table arrangement?", proj.components(type == TableArrangement).count() > 0)

I'll take a look if you point me to the source.

My biggest hurdle is grabbing huge JSON from the AI2 test environment and getting it into a Windows paste into 7zip.

this could be the source @ABG

Thanks for the link.
That package is more of a mining tool than a repair workbench.
AI2 has all I need to build a repair workbench.
