VPrune prunes and splits .tcx files to make them more compatible with Lezyne and other GPS devices that are unable to handle large and complex files.

Downloading TCXPrune

• vprune.exe - what most Windows users will want. Just download the .exe file and double-click to run it. The first time you run it, you might have to deal with some Windows pop-up screens telling you to be careful running .exe files.

• vprune-console.exe - what advanced/programmer-type Windows users might want. Check this page for command line options and how-tos

• vprune.py - a version that you can run under Python, meaning it can run on any Unix, Mac, Android, etc system that can run Python. Check this page to get it working under Python.

How TCXPrune can run

VPrune can be run as a command line program in (Windows and most Unix systems) OR as a windows program with a GUI (Windows and most Unix systems) OR via web GUI interface (Android, Windows, most Unix systems).

In addition, VPrune runs online in a web page on Repl.it - which is a great way to give the app a quick try.

How to use TCXPrune

• If you simply start (or double click on) vprune.py/vprune.exe, a window will pop up - you can choose the file to process and other options

• Some environments, such as Android, can't run the program in GUI mode. In that case you can run the program as a command line program OR you can use a web gui. Start the program with command vprune.py --webgui or similar (see the pages on getting TXCPrune running under Python and command line options). When using the web version, a web window with the GUI should open automatically. If it doesn't, you can open a browser on your device and navigate to localhost:8081 or 127.0.0.1:8081

• If you start vprune.exe from the command line with arguments (as described on the command line options page), it will run as a command line program

• The GUI window allows you to choose all the same options you can choose on the command line--so you can do it either way
