Hello everyone, the new release with the much requested USB support is finally here! (Couldn't have done it without @DarkMatterCore's usb library) It's worth mentioning since it is such a big update (backend changes and FS refactor) there *may* be some issues, but the only way I can find and fix those is through you guys! However rest assured, I did run a lot of tests myself to make sure it is functioning as expected. If I waited a month, it would've been exactly 2 years since the last release .

Change-log:

• FS:
  • Added support for browsing USB devices.
  • Switched back to libc to handle FS operations.
  • Brought back support for browsing other devices such as safe, user and system.
• GUI:
  • Update to imGui v1.88.
  • Switch to imGui's new keyEvent API.
  • The two views (File Browser and Settings) can now be navigated as tabs.
  • Switched from list view to a table view using imGui's table API.
  • Sorting is no longer applied from settings, it can be done directly by clicking on the table column headers.
  • A new selector has been added to allow the user to switch to different devices such as safe, user, USB etc.
  • Settings are no longer categorized by imGui's tree system.
  • No longer uses SDL2 as a backend, but instead uses opengl v3 directly (along with egl).
• Fixes:
  • Properly delete config file if the config file version is outdated.
  • Properly free textures after exiting application.
  • Fixed scrolling via the right joystick after zooming into an image.
  • Lots of code clean up and under the hood changes that are too many to list here.

Are you using SX OS or layeredFS?

If you don't know how to compile it you should probably just leave it. The instructions on how to compile are pretty simple to follow. I have no idea how it works on windows so I can't help you there.

Edit: I'm sorry for the delay everyone. I'll try to iron out some issues and have a release by the weekend. I've been busy at work and fixing some other bugs with my other projects.

Funny enough, i couldn't get it to compile on Windows no matter what i did. Compiles fine on Linux and macOS, though. I went through the same setup instructions and installed the same dependencies on both. My error didn't look like that, though.

Also, regarding the gesture support for PDF files, I'd be willing to be a tester for you and help debug the potential feature.

Did you just say "in five hours"?

i've already compiled lot of things by myself on wii, wiiu, and starting to get some projects to compile for switch too.
i've coded some homebrew like "Savegame Manager GX" (Wii/WiiU) and added the gui to "WUP Installer" to done "WUP Installer GX"(WiiU).
But it seem the problem is linked with window. Can't get to compile ReiNX too.

I will try with a Virtual Machine and linux....

I think u should try to find the compile problem before tell to people they should not try to compile
Perhaps i'm not a very good coder, but i'm not totaly noob...

Keep the good works with your nice and usefull homebrew man!!!

Regards.

Honestly I have never had a great experience with DevKitPro on Windows. Either things don't get linked, or environment settings are borked, or something. I primarily use DevKitPro on Mac and occasionally on Lubuntu or Mint.

My apologies, but I'm not actually sure how it works on windows or what sort of dependencies you'd require. Make sure you have dkp's switch-dev group installed via pacman. This seems to be an external problem though, especially since you said missing dlls. (As always make sure your dev environment is up to date)

So I got to test CBZ support over the weekend and here is a small feedback:

• Turning the page when you are zoomed in turns it to the same location next page, so you always end up starting at the bottom of the page and have to scroll up to start reading
• Would love to see options like fit to screen and original size, as at the moment you can only zoom in and out by 10%, so if the image loads at 86% you cant get to see it in 100%, but just in 96% and 106%
• Zooming tends to reset itself and you end up zooming in every page turn
• Option in the menu to hide the top bar would be a great addition
• CBR support would also be great

I really appreciate all your hard work and really been loving your app so far!

Im using SX OS 1.4 thanks

Hello, I may have asked this earlier in the thread.. I'm not sure.
Is it possible to add the ability to unmount/mount the SD card while in app? So we can transfer files to the SD card by connecting to a PC without having to turn the Switch off?
I'd also happily settle for connecting to PC via Usb C cable too
My Switch does not have Internet connected so FTP isn't an option for me. Having to re-RCM my Switch everytime I need to copy a file to SD is a pain in the ass.

Does this work with SX OS?

Yes.

I loaded this up and it shows all the files and everything fine, but it doesn't show the highlight when I have something selected. I can figure out what file I'm on by counting the number of key presses, but there is no indicator. Not sure whats going on. Using SX Homebrew menu on 5.1.

Can you reproduce this issue using hekate or atmosphere?
SX isn't supported by most homebrew devs.

 

[hellionz]

any news about new releases? i cant compile nigthly versions

Greetings

Found a glitch. If you play 2-3 audio files quickly, the switch crashes.

Working fine here, SXOS 1.4, OFW 4.1.0.

@Joel16, minor request: could you please make UI not jump when selecting a checkbox?

 

[hhamlet90]

How do i install nxshell?

 

[Stone-D]

Put it in the switch folder on your SD card.
