 # A1 Swap Mod Packer
 
+Current version: **v0.5.0**
+
 A1 Swap Mod Packer is an open-source implementation 3MF packer for Bambu Lab A1 SwapMod workflows.
 
 It takes one or more A1-sliced `.3mf` files, repeats their plate G-code according to copy counts, inserts an external SwapMod ejection/swap G-code block, and writes a new packed `.3mf` that can be sent to the printer.

+- Packed preview image composition from up to 9 unique input files, with a short `{plates} P` label.
 - Combined mode: all input rows become one packed 3MF.

 ## Installation for source use
 
 Python 3.10 or newer is recommended.

+
+## Build Windows executables
+
+The repository includes a Windows build script:
+
+```cmd
+build_win.cmd
+```
+
+The script uses Nuitka onefile mode and creates this portable release folder:
+
+```text
+build/onefile/
+```
+
+Expected output:
+
+```text
+build/onefile/
+  a1packer.exe
+  a1packer-cli.exe
+  gcode_patches.ini
+  swap_gcode/
+  settings.json      Optional; created by the GUI after settings are saved
+```
+
+External resources are intentionally kept outside the executables. Do not pack these files into the onefile binary:
+
+```text
+swap_gcode/
+gcode_patches.ini
+settings.json
+```
+
+The application resolves these paths from the executable folder when running as a packaged exe.
+
+### Windows build requirements
+
+Tested build environment:
+
+- Windows 10.
+- Python 3.10 or newer.
+- A virtual environment at `.venv/`.
+- Project runtime dependencies from `requirements.txt`.
+- Nuitka with onefile support.
+- Microsoft C++ Build Tools / Visual Studio Build Tools with the MSVC compiler and Windows SDK.
+
+Install the Python dependencies in a fresh virtual environment:
+
+```cmd
+py -3.12 -m venv .venv
+.venv\Scripts\python.exe -m pip install --upgrade pip
+.venv\Scripts\python.exe -m pip install -r requirements.txt
+.venv\Scripts\python.exe -m pip install "Nuitka[onefile]"
+```
+
+Then run:
+
+```cmd
+build_win.cmd
+```
+
+The build script performs two Nuitka builds:
+
+- GUI: `run_gui.py` -> `build/onefile/a1packer.exe`
+- CLI: `run_cli.py` -> `build/onefile/a1packer-cli.exe`
+
+The GUI build enables the PySide6 plugin and includes the Qt plugin groups needed by the current interface:
+
+```text
+platforms,imageformats,styles,iconengines
+```
+
+### After building
+
+Before publishing the folder, verify the CLI can see the external resources:
+
+```cmd
+build\onefile\a1packer-cli.exe --version
+build\onefile\a1packer-cli.exe list-swap-gcode
+```
+
+The second command should list files from:
+
+```text
+build/onefile/swap_gcode/
+```
+
+Also start `build/onefile/a1packer.exe` once and confirm that:
+
+- The Swap G-code dropdown lists the copied templates.
+- Editing GUI options creates or updates `build/onefile/settings.json`.
+- The app still runs if `settings.json` is absent before first launch.
