Thanks. I'd like to make the string customizable and add an auto name bool to the config sometime since I made the config human readable now. I'm taking a short break right now though.
If anyone wants to build it, it works fine as far as I know. It's just missing a few things and the config is going to change for sure in a little while. I didn't know people shared their output folder definitions, which I need to separate now. The only things really holding up a prerelease is the new mass backup and cache saves need a target system to get size. You can create and manually extend them now, but calculating the size seems more convenient. Other than that, it's all minor things that shouldn't take long.

1. how come some of my backed up save is titleid while others has english name? this happens when i use dump all or backup all
2. is there a way to delete older backup without going in the folder and deleting the backup one by one?
3.is it safe to backup and restore pokemon snap save file now?

1. If a game has non Ascii characters, it defaults back to title id since switch doesn't handle them right and I can't use UTF-16 like 3DS.
2. You can use the file mode browser to just delete the whole folder. Other than that, no.
3. Backing it up was always safe, restoring it is fixed now too. The only problem is that the versions currently released don't have the save extension code so if you expanded your album, it will have problems if the save is larger than the new one. The size of the fully extended one is 1536MB IIRC.

I'm not 100% sure myself. I haven't had time to play the game all the way through. I've been told at one to two points, the game allows you to expand the picture album and with that, the save container gets expanded to hold it. I'm only telling you what the game reports. The save maxes out at 1.5GB.

Would it be possible to add an option to limit the number of backups for each game to a specified number per user?
For example, I only require one backup (the latest) per user per game to save space when transferring them to my NAS and it'd be nice to have this done automatically rather than having to go through each game and delete previous backups manually.

I can add an option to new versions to delete all backups to the title slide out menu if that helps. Maybe a delete all backups to the settings or extras menu too. That will include the new trash folder I added.
I'm coming down with something though. Depending on how bad it gets, I'm either gonna be working on this a bit more this week or not at all.
Done.
One or two more things and I think it's finally good to go guys. I took it a lot further than I thought I ever would. The only thing it's missing at this point is the option that packs the entire save folder into a ZIP file, and that's next on the list. It might need a few tweaks and fixes here and there but I've been using it for months without issue.
Just wanna give a heads up for the few that downloaded that last build I posted: Don't use it to create BCAT, and if you did, I'd delete what you did create. Last night I discovered that I forgot to set the owner ID to the BCAT program ID. I started DOOM to check something and the BCAT module kept throwing fatal errors. I couldn't even start my switch anymore without it throwing a fatal error on boot. It's recoverable, but it is a pain.
Sorry. I usually catch stuff that bad.

That was always the plan. It was a separate branch until complete and stable enough to use 100%. I've heard there's some weirdness reading and moving the config to the new location, but I think that's it at the moment.
You also have to realize I'm extremely picky and besides major fixes, I don't like releasing for every little thing I do or change. Even merging into master didn't happen until I had all the original features back. Release for sure soon though. I have to get the config straightened out and the rest can wait.

I used it to try installing some bcat’s from animal crossing. Worked fine then today game crashed before loading is complete. I try to restore the backup I have and I see a bunch of 100%’s but in the end it fails. I get a error like “fails to commit save” or something like that. I’m away from switch but can replicate error. Even tried deleting game and reinstall but no good. Thanx in advance

Since I barely ever check in here anymore, I'll take this opportunity to leave a small update. I re-implemented something I was going to add a year ago. Someone asked me and I also saw someone else say it's impossible thanks to recent events... JKSV can now export the data needed to create saves for games you don't own. I know even I'm late to the party on this one, but I guess Smash has some bonus for having a Kingdom Hearts save on your Switch. I call them SVI's. They're just the titleid, NACP, and icon thrown into a binary file. I haven't done a release yet though, mostly because...
I was looking through a flash drive to find the NSP building files and found an old prototype-ish sysmodule and fixed it up a bit and it still works. It runs after you close and game and backs up your save in the background. JKSV will be needed to configure it once I'm done. It's limited and can't do zip, but why let it go to waste?
Last is some kind of cloud support. I'm working on it all and none of it is going to happen overnight, unfortunately. I'm only one guy and basically write some stuff when I can before I fall asleep at night.

Are there any errors in the log file? Commit errors are one of the few things I do log in general. Usually commit errors are thrown if more data is written than there is journal space and you try to commit it all at once.

Well, from what I've heard from my parents, he had a seizure last night, perhaps an epileptic episode, fucking died, had a near death experience, my dad called the paramedics, they showed up, took him to the hospital, and he woke up covered in tubes, and started complaining.
