Homebrew 3DShell - Multi-purpose File Manager for the 3DS

[Joel16]

3DShell (pronounced 3D-Shell) - is a multi-purpose file manager for the Nintendo 3DS that aims towards handling media files. Unlike FBI which specializes more in title management, 3DShell leans towards more of the file management features such as opening and managing various files types and includes the basic necessity of a standard file manager. This program's design elements are clearly inspired by CyanogenMod/LineageOS's built in file manager, and so all credits towards the design go to the CyanogenMod/LineageOS contributors.

3DShell (pronounced 3DShell)

thanks I was confused about how to pronounce that

Good job kinda looks like an Android file browser. The gear button doesn't work and can you have it order by alphabetical but overall well down

It is inspired by an android file manager. And yeah some functions are yet to be implemented like settings so there's still quite a lot to do here.

Huh reminds me of nothing at all kek

 

[bdren1]

What app is it?

Thanks for this. It's always nice to see contributions to the Homebrew Scene. Also, the per-button system used by GodMode9 and CTRXplorer is admittedly clunky; this should make file management much smoother.

Nice, I was looking for a nice looking manager with smooth management.

Nice work! Looks awesome

 

[Joel16]

Appreciate the friendly comments. Next release won't be up until I fix recursive deletion (fixed), and the copy/cut stuff.
Also the gear button (settings) and the key button (ctrnand) doesn't work yet, so tapping on it won't do anything. Thought I'd mention that since I didn't in the main post. Do feel free to make suggestions or request features as long as they're appropriate and isn't something like "can we get this to run ps vita gamez".

Oh and also here's a QR code to make installation easier: (I'm planning on adding QR downloads in the future as well)

oh hey great, was looking for something to replace CTRX explorer with since it's so similar to GM9 in terms of the UI

 

[Mr.Faq2015]

Neat application. Installing right away, thanks a lot

@Joel16
Just asking.
Is the FTP feature still up?
I'm asking because I don't see it in the todo and I got excited for that feature.

I did give it a go a few days ago but didn't go so well, so I'll be looking into that later. It's a planned feature, I just forgot to mention it.

This looks fantastic! Hope you get FTP working.

Also you might want to put the QR code in the OP.

oh nice really nice ;o , any risk of brick ?

Nope, it doesn't touch ctrnand so there's no way to brick. The worst you could do is delete boot.fim intentionally, cause I doubt anyone would do that by 'accident'. I'll add more security measures when I allow access to ctrnand.

Looks good and promising. I think this is something the 3DS has been missing. FBI and GodMode9 just come a bit short in this regard.
