beware
the name of your main program is switch-backup-manager
and there is already a sofware with this name -> https://gbatemp.net/threads/switch-backup-manager-1-0.511143/page-38#post-8722706

by the way

i think you should directly name "update" as "missing update"
"dlc" as "missing dlc"

and i think a "missing dlc update" should have its own column instead to be merge with missing update

(and overall why not a missing title)

I was looking for something like this tool for a long time.
I've a question thou, can this by any chance detect corrupt, fake or brick files ?

Also would it be better to merge all tabs (library, updates, dlc) on a single tab and add toggle filters to it for missing updates, dlc, etc ?

I also notice that when you have an update or DLC for a base game that is not present on your library, it is not list/indicate anything on the GUI, perhaps add a tab for missing base games would do the trick.

I had the same zip file download problem, it was downloading a slightly different named zip to what it was expecting

And I get the same Java error with my external hard drive

delete this folder C:\Users\user_name\AppData\Roaming\Switch Library Manager\vendor\,
and retry
just replace user_name by the identity you use on your pc

if you dont see this folder go in folder options to show hidden file

Same for me, I get an error on scanning. It's weird because some hours ago was working just fine, and I didn't change anything.
Hi, I'm having some trouble. Just downloaded it, and when I get to selecting my games folder, itll throw me an error after it scans my library (which are stored on my external harddrive) what am I doing wrong?

Fact. I was testing a game port called "Helltaker" that caused the program to respond with that error. I hope with that help, because more than one who may have this error, and may think that the program is failing, when it really is one of your files.

Out of that.

The program is great, a long time ago I was looking for something like that.
Thank you!!!

CARE

i created a fake file with true name and no data and it result that the program dont detect or check anything.

i made many test and it seems its just base on file's name convention.
if the name contain title id and version and the program find them in his data base then they appear in library

I've been using your command line version of this, nice to see you updated it with a GUI now! Amazing app for keeping my library up to date.

A few suggestions/enhancements:

1. Dark mode feature
2. Ability to open the folder the nsp/nsz is stored in from the GUI
3. Let us see all the items on one page instead of having to press next to scroll through them
4. Blacklist option

That's the case if you do not have the prod.keys file, as i can't decrypt the NSP without the keys.
Next version will contain a clear indication that you are missing the keys

Any solution for the external hdd error?
What is the error you get? Anything in the log file ?
I also use an external drive and it works fine.

Will add dark mode and ability to control the table paging size to the next version.
Not sure i get (2), as you can already set the folder from the UI, do you mean just open the folder in explorer/finder?

Thanks!
Next version will fix this by better handling game ports and other non official versions.

Yes open the folder in finder, I put my updates and dlcs in separate nested folders so it would be handy to be able to open it straight from the GUI so I can find them.

Thanks for the great app!

When I double click the switch-library-manager.exe (windows version) nothing happens.
I'm on windows 10 x64 and previous switch library manager version was working.

Might have to do with the renaming, please try to delete the vendor folder (you can look at the log file that should show you the location), and try again

I deleted the entire switch library manager folder at Roaming location, still didn't fix anything.
