Could someone with joycons that don't drift dm me on discord? I'm CompSciOrBust in the AtlasNX server. You can tell it's really me because I have the dev role. I'm having a issue with the image viewer but I can't tell if my code is broken or my joycons are broken. I definitely have joycon drift but I can't tell if that's the cause of the issue so I need someone without drift to test a build for me.

@CompSciOrBust I could test that for you if you tell me exactly what you want me to do.

Excellent app, but could you add a manual save option for the text editor? Or a undo changes option? I have messed up files by removing lines of text by accidentally pressing the D-pad left on the pro controller, with no way of undo the changes.
And it would be nice a fast scrolling option by long pressing the D-pad or with the joystick

I'll look in to adding a exit without saving option in the next release or 0.7.0. I would like to add fast scrolling but it's difficult to debug because I have joycon drift so I can never tell if my code is buggy or I'm getting false readings from sticks.

I'm sure we'll soon find out when I get home.

Might be silly, but if no one can help or gets busy during tests:
https://www.reddit.com/r/nintendo/comments/b5aro8/psa_if_your_joycons_have_drift_use_a_spray/

Maybe it'll help a few others.
I heard you can also use WD-40:

And the obligatory, just because: buy new ones, don't give a fuck, call Nintendo.

Two people have volunteered but I'll keep that in mind. Thanks.

Thanks for the new update, this is getting better and better

Thanks. I'm busy with college stuff and getting ready for university at the minute so I'm mainly focusing on small quality of life stuff for now but I'll implement some bigger additions when I have free time. The next big thing I want to add is either a zip extractor or a hex editor.

@CompSciOrBust Does N-Xplorer v0.6.3 access the partitions of the nand that was booted or basically only the sysnand?

It has access to the one that was booted. Just before I went to sleep I realized it had a bug though and you can only access either the system partition or the user partition. I'll fix it later.

Edit: To be clear you can still access the sd card. I just accidentally used the same partition ID for both nand partitions.

@CompSciOrBust Would it be possible to integrate a key combination to gain access to sensitive system areas (user & sys)? It doesn't have to be anything complex, only that these areas cannot be made accessible by simply pressing a button.
Some kind of brick protection so that unauthorized persons cannot do anything stupid there. I personally don't need that, but there are a lot of kids who play around with the console. I imagine a pop up window, similar to Tinfoil, where you have to enter a key combination to allow the installation of unsigned code.

Yeah I'll be able to do that.

@CompSciOrBust I have another suggestion for improvement regarding the operation in text editor mode. It's about the - button that I think you wanted to reserve for other things. Since the + button has no function in editor mode, it would be useful to use it to exit the text editor with saved changes, and the B button to exit without saving. What is your opinion?

Good suggestion but my plan is to have b open up a GUI with the option to save, save as, and exit without saving. I'm going to have the - button open a settings menu for changing themes, enabling FTP, changing the file sort order, and stuff like that.

This is also a very good solution!

For Joy-Con drift: Doesn't need to be contact cleaner. Isopropyl alcohol does work too (make sure it's very high percentage and clear). It's way cheaper than the cleaners.

I got parental controls working. If parental controls are set up you now need to enter the pin to access built in storage filesystems. If no parental controls are set up the pin is skipped. I also fixed the bug that mounted both sys:/ and user:/ to the user filesystem. It'll be included in the next release.

Thanks for the update.
