Release v4.1.0 is now available.

Before installing this update, please delete your config file located in /3DS/3DShell/config.cfg. This release will automatically handle this for you in future releases if entries are modified in the config file. You can also update straight from 3DShell, by tapping the download icon (Updates menu) and updating via the official release build option.

Change-log:

  • Minor clean-up with audio functions, config file and .ZIP extraction, removed deprecated functions. (Also built using the latest citro2d and libctru.)
  • Improved music lock texture.
  • Added battery icons to status bar.
  • Add ability to extract .RAR archives.
  • Add "More..." option in file options.
    • Added the ability to refresh directory list.
    • Added the ability to create new files.
    • Cancel button can be accessed via buttons.
  • Minor fixes with handling UTF-16 filenames.
  • Added a W.I.P text file reader for small config files. (This is very basic at the moment. I simply implemented this for reading log files straight from the 3DS).
  • Handle config versions (At the moment, you'll need to delete your config file located in /3DS/3DShell/config.cfg, however after this update this will no longer be necessary with future releases).
  • Fixed buffer overflow when selecting a file with a long file path using multi-select.
  • Fixed copying files/folders between different archives sd <-> nand.
  • UTF16 file names are now properly handled when copying/pasting files.
  • Added the ability to zoom into image if < 400x240. (c-stick or D-PAD to zoom, circle pad to position image).
  • Improved executable file icon. (The previous one didn't work well with the dark theme mode).
  • Added an error display dialog if any issue occurs with FS or archive related functions.
  • Fixed OPUS support.

hi Joel thanks again for your work. very exciting to have the option to view text and config files directly on the 3DS now!

I have a small request if possible, can you make it so pressing A on a zip file doesn't automatically extract it? it would be nice if we could just view before or have a pop up ask if we want to extract. I unzipped big files by mistake :rofl2:

Ah right, my bad. Perhaps I'll add a dialog before so that it asks if you want to extract the zip/rar file. I'll look into adding a cancel button too whilst doing that.

Can it install CIAs? If we could get that and a text editor (its planned right) along w maybe tinydb support this would be the best homebrew app

that would be really awesome if Joel brought that feature back :) maybe it wouldn't be too hard since FBI is open source he could use some of the code?

It's not all that hard to implement. TBH it's already in the code but it's only used for updating the 3DShell CIA version. I'd rather not include title management with this, just pure file management at the moment.

v4.2.0 is available!

Change-log:
  • Refactor and clean up external image loading functions:
    • Fixed texture display corruption when using next/previous in image preview.
    • Image viewer can now display GIF files (not animated).
    • Now uses libnsbmp instead of loadbmp which (decodes .BMP files a lot faster with little to no delays!).
    • Enable zoom function on any image that is > 400x240 as long as it's not a dual screen image. (Please note there is a limit as to how large an image can be, 800x600 was the furthest that worked fine in my tests).
    • Use nanojpeg to load .JPEG files and remove stb_image since it's a massive library only used for a single function.
  • Display ID3v2 cover art image if found.
  • Only display ID3 title if found.
  • Fixed incorrect title when using next/previous on non MP3 file.
  • Added dialog before extracting rar/zip file.
  • Don't display checkbox on parent folders.
  • The CIA update (for 3DShell CIA version) progress bar is a lot more realistically responsive than previous releases.
  • Display file sizes in main menu.
  • Fixed file properties from displaying the timestamp attribute for a non existing entry (parent folders do not have timestamps).
  • Fix misaligned font size in status bar.

Last I checked, whenever I open the .3dsx, I get stuck on one of those crashed bootup screens repeatedly. I know file managrs work without cfw (because I currently use organiz3d), but I don't really know what's going on. Do I need cfw or something?
edit - if it only runs on cfw, can you find a way to make it run on userland, even if you have to remove some features?

Yeah.
 
Yeah, I think you can't access NAND in userland, but would it be possible to make a version without NAND access (like a sd file manager)? I have anemone3ds (custom theme manager) and it has a battery meter despite being userland, so if you could make a userland only version, that would be cool, but if not, that's okay.

There's really no point as userland support is dead for nearly everything. The 3DS scene is all CFW at this point.
