NX-Shell - Multipurpose File Manager for Nintendo Switch

blahh · Jul 2, 2018

this is kinda on/off topic..

but it'd be great to create re-usable components for hombrew- this nxshell would make a great "explorer" base component that would be great to incorporate into other homebrew applications.

i don't develop in C/C++(so idk if this exists) but some sort of npm/nuget/pip like system would be awesome for switch homebrew development so people don't have to recreate the wheel feature/component wise..

Great work!

music player and file browser works like a charm. only thing music player needs is a toucht bar so we can manually forward/backward easy

The ebook reader has only worked one time. usually gives me error code 2162-0002 when trying to read.

Also inthe future when possible it would be awesome if the music player could worked while screen is locked ^^
video player would be cool if possible too

Weird I'm not sure what type of ebooks you're using but tbh I haven't tried anything apart from some ''medium" sized pdfs. They're just some random lecture notes from school or something.

Music player while locked won't come yet. There isn't a way for any homebrew to do that at the moment I believe. Things are still pretty much at its early stages with the switch, a lot more things (video player, FTP) will follow later on.

This is really cool. The only problem is I can't seem to listen to any of my flac music. When I select the files, nothing happens.

It's interesting to get to know your plans with the things you post in this topic but maybe you should make a list so people could know what they can or can not expect, it might be dangerous as you'll get people whining as to when which and which features are coming but as you kinda announce those things anyway, maybe making it more readable and official could make things easier to follow and also attract more crowd

I tested pdf about 30-40mb size and same size CBZ. Anyway mupdf lib should reads file by parts, so size no matter, but I'll need more test it.

Last time someone used an appstore they faced some issue with booting. I'd prefer if people just used the download from my GitHub.

Added a text viewer if anyone wants to test: https://github.com/keeganatorr/NX-Shell/releases/tag/1.03-edit
Feedback for improving this would be great!

Seems to have issues with larger files though, but should work for viewing small .txt/.cfg/.log files.

The Xplorer almost crashes when managing large files! I think it doest cause when deleting 8Gb the other day it just hangs there and I didn't know if it was ok xD

I literally can't wait. If I can use my switch as a comfy PDF reader I will be stoked.

Have bad news. I made a fairly large pdf file (a manga) that went up to 230 pages and was 190MB or such. I got to page 60. On page 61 the images went grey screen and then several seconds later it causes an error that makes the console reset. Cannot test if this happens multiple times as I do not currently have access to a PC.

Does it allow editing too?

@Joel16 is it possible to add the ability for the shoulder buttons on the Joycon to move the cursor left or right when renaming titles?
As it is now, say if I want to rename just the first few letters of a filename I have to delete the whole filename to get to those first letters

Also is it possible to have the "X" button on the Joycon be mapped to Space function on the keyboard?

I downloaded the newest version from your GitHub, but I still can't listen to flac audio. Nothing happens when I select the file. I've tried multiple tracks, from multiple albums.
