Atm you install files one by one, but when I submit multi file selection, it will delete files one by one right after install. Stay tuned.
How fast XCI-to-NSP conversion is?
Is there a way to delete NSP after installation? E.g. I accidentally press A (Install) instead of X (Install & Delete). In this case, I have to open NXShell, navigate to the folder and delete the file which takes quite a lot of time.

Nice feature would be to install a game straight from the cartridge to the SD or NAND.
I could add an option to simply delete selected files.
That would be dope. I don't think it's impossible. There is another thread mentionning a 4NXCI clone that can convert to NSP directly from the XCI (without extracting nor decrypting). I think the main issue is hekate missing a certain sig patch to run those. If it gets solved, not only I can convert to XCI to NSP without temp files, but I can install directly from them. I'll have to look at the cartridge dumper to see how it works.
Excellent work. I would very much like network installation, and also functions NXSell. Thank you!
You have renamed keys.txt => keys.dat ?

@HiD I was unable to run the converted to .nsp. I suppose it's the path to the key file. How can this be corrected? Thank you!
I do like your GUI as far as homebrew goes, you clearly put some work into it. However don't you think this is pretty shitty thing to do to tinfoil? Adubbz is clearly working on a GUI as you can see from the files in the repo you copied, and you are forcing him to compete with himself now. He is trying to write USB installation code, that you will no doubt turn around and merge into your project. Why should he not stop working on that, and focus on his GUI instead (and the scene loses out on USB installation)?
Functionally, your project didn't improve upon anything, it is effectively just a GUI wrapper around tinfoil (and 4nxci).
Perhaps Adubbz does not care, I do not know. I just see it as a low blow, and I do not believe the scene should support or encourage this behavior, as the scene loses in the long run when developers lose interest in improving their applications.

Isn't tinfoil already competing with itself since team xecuter stole adubbz code and made their own nsp installer? At least OP gave credit and is releasing his work for free. I see your point though.
I do not know if SX used tinfoil code, though if they did, they improved upon the code since SX supported installing updates / DLC before tinfoil did. I do remember scires posted some symbols from SX that offered evidence they used tinfoil's code, so I do believe it is likely they did that.
Additionally, SX doesnt directly compete with tinfoil. SX does not have network install, and generally SX users use SX, non-SX use tinfoil. The lines are clearly drawn, and tinfoil has a majority of the market share.
I’m doing it for free, i didn’t ask for anything in return, and the code is open sourced, with Adubbz credited for it as well. I wouldn’t care for him, or anybody else, to take the whole thing and integrate it to tinfoil.
This is the idea behind GPL license. Do what you want with the code, as long as you open source what you do. It favorises sharing and creativity.
I basically started writing my ideal tool, that’s it. I’m sharing for the community to use it if it likes it. If you prefer I keep it to myself, it’s fine too.

I'm not saying you copied code for profit or anything, I don't even think you did anything intentionally with malice. I'm just letting you know how it looks from the perspective of a developer that has no bone in this, and how it could hurt the scene when stuff like this kills moral.
Yes, you are 100% within your rights to take the GPL code and implement it in your project assuming you comply with the license. Just because you can, doesn't mean you should.
You may notice in my thread that anytime someone asked for local install support, I referred them tinfoil. That was out of respect for the person who pioneered NSP installs, and continues to innovate. Tinfoil is an application, not a library. There were plenty of projects in the switch scene you could have taken on, but you chose to overlap tinfoil and waste resources
Your skills would have been better used elsewhere.
This is open-source stuff, it is MEANT to be copied and modified. Having multiple options is good and one can look what the other one does and improve their work. If Adubbz has a problem with it, he can just choose to make Tinfoil not open-source or speak with HiD.
It's not wasting as I said above, choice is good. I also made homebrew that overlaps with what is already there, mainly to learn from it.
I am not sure you understand the politics of forking a project from a developers stand point. You sound like an end user who is too near sighted who wants "now now now" but cant see how they are hurt overall in the long run. I do not mean that as an insult, most users do not think about these politics.
Generally a fork happens when there is a disagreement among the devs about the direction or future of a project. This application just seems to be implementing what is exactly on tinfoil's roadmap. I know Adubbz is open and encourages PR's, the author would have been better served to try to contribute to tinfoil rather than fork it. tldr; forking in this manner was rude and disrespectful.

@Xdqwerty, Osu! Tatakae! Ouendan! is the Japanese version of the game, different settings/characters/songs but otherwise identical mechanics. I played that before I knew about Elite Beat Agents lol. Both fantastic games https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Osu!_Tatakae!_Ouendan+1 -
