I Made a Moho Analyzer

Post by Sina.hojati »

I created a PowerShell-based Moho File Analyzer with the help of AI to make it easier to inspect Moho project files without having to open them in Moho.

I originally created this tool because I often needed to check information inside Moho files, and opening each project individually was time-consuming. So, I built a simple tool that uses the Windows GUI framework to display information from .moho files and automatically detect files inside subfolders.

Moho files inside subfolders

How to Use
Right-click the .ps1 file.
Select Run with PowerShell.
Browse and select your project folder.
Click Scan

i Hope it helps

Hi Sina.hojati!

I had trouble running the script. The window appeared briefly and then closed before I could do anything. This is probably the first time I've tried to run a PowerShell script on this computer, so maybe I need to adjust a permissions setting?

I'll revisit this tonight and let you know how it goes.

If you can’t download the `.ps1` file, you can simply copy the code and paste it into a Notepad file.

Then save it and change the file extension from `.txt` to `.ps1`.

After that, right-click the `.ps1` file and choose **Run with PowerShell** (the second option).


Hope that helps!

Hi!

That's what I did. When running the script, it opens and then immediately closes. I'm guessing it may be a permissions issue on my end, although it does the same thing on two different computers here.

Will investigate and let you know if I get it running here.

Hmm...I found the option in PowerShell settings to run as Administrator. When I ran the script (RMB>Run With PowerShell), the PowerShell window now stays open but remains a blank screen. Getting closer, I guess.

Will continue trying and let you know how it goes. :)

I just tested it on a different computer here, and it works flawlessly. I’m not sure what the problem is.

Is anyone else experiencing the same issue? :!:

Hi,

This morning, I made a little time to look into this, and the issue may be on my end. Apparently, the script requires PowerShell 5.1, and both my computers have PowerShell 7. I didn't have time to look into this further, but tonight I read the additional info you sent me, and it appears to confirm this. (Thanks for checking.)

If I have time later this week, I'll take another look, but hopefully someone else here can check this out before then.
