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  • Properly delete config file if the config file version is outdated.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.

Hi
You don't press X but A to confirm your choice, after that you'll see the onscreen keyboard.

But nothing happens when I press A on the file.

Actually you have to open the menu by pressing X and select rename with the dpad then press A.

You can use touch as well.. anyways are you using anything out of the ordinary than just Hb launcher? Like layeredFS or anything?

It looks like I was using an old version, though I thought I downloaded the newest. Anyway it works now

Sorry I have this thread watched but I didn't get any notifications. Please do send a PR and I'll take a look and merge.
Just tested and it works great. Also reviewed the code and it looks good, please do send a PR.

Funny, SDL did note it as one of the supported formats. I guess I'll have to rule that one out as well. I'll probably bring up my own audio decoder later on.

is FTP included now?

What about using ffmpeg?

I believe things are still not 100% with libnx for things to go smoothly. So no, not yet.

That's yet to be ported. We haven't scheduled hw acceleration yet anyway.

Hi, did you add the changes our fella did to the project?

 

[rock88]

please do send a PR

I found few errors with incorrect libjpeg version (used in SDL_image & mupdf_core lib). Currently jpeg file preview broken, so I'm trying to fix it, and after this I'll send PR.

Any news on editing text files?

 

[lordelan]

@Joel16 If you could add drive support (at least for Google Drive and/or OneDrive) like it is done by ES File Explorer, that'd be amaaaazing! I won't need any FTP tool then. I can just backup my savegames and push them into a Google Drive folder everyday before I go to sleep.

No, if there was any I would've posted here about it.

Sadly that's probably not going to happen anytime soon. There's still a bunch of things in my todo list that I want to achieve with this before I move onto implementing other new features.

Fixed

Next version of NX Shell will consist of a pdf/epub reader. All thanks to @rock88!
