There are other cross platform GUI tool kits.  WxWidgets works well
"v" is another but there are many more listed here

For this very simple application you don't need anything like C or C++
one of the scripting languages would work, tcl/tk, pl/tk, ruby or
Pythion.  All it would have to do is present the user a bunch of
radio butons, pull downs and file browser.  It reads there then builds
and "execs" a command line
