Still hoping for video support at some point

unfortunally i don't think its gonna happen at least not with this project, it is no longer being worked on it looks like, only way would be if someone makes their own project and figures out how to do it somehow i guess

I see, the issue I'm basically having is I hit he 10k limit of photos and videos on the Switch 1, so I copied them onto my PC and deleted them off my Switch. Now that the Switch 2 has a 30k limit I'd like to put them back on my Switch 1 SD Card and do a manual transfer to the Switch 2. Turns out they didn't make that easy and it's a one-way backup essentially. Even with this method, every image I put into the input folder just outputs as being created today, ignoring the original filenames. And even aside from that, the videos can't be imported and apparently the games don't get assigned to their proper game category, just "Other". I guess it makes sense since the program probably has no way of detecting the game from a completely random image but still unfortunate. I'd even be willing to homebrew my Switch if there was a way to get this working but I don't think there's any other app that exists for this purpose. I suppose it's okay, at least I still have the old pictures and videos in some form and that's what matters.

NSScreenshotMaker​

NSScreenshotMaker is a tool that will allow you to sign images for the Nintendo Switch. The Switch has an album function to view your screenshots, but it can't read images you put yourself on the SD card.
This tool's purpose is to sign any image so the Switch can read it. I don't really see any use for it, but eh, some people want it ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Requirements

• The Nintendo Switch capsrv screenshot HMAC secret key
• Python3
• PIL
• piexif
• A FAT32 formatted SD card (ExFat doesn't work at the moment)

You might otherwise use the exe file which doesn't need those requirements (except for the key and the SD card). Your antivirus may block it though.

Usage

• Find the "Nintendo Switch capsrv screenshot HMAC secret" key (Can't share it here for legal reasons). Either save it in a key.bin file (A .bin file is a binary file, so don't use a text editor, use a hex editor like HxD), or pass it as an argument when running the program.
• Create an "input" folder, and put your images in it. Images can be all sizes and formats that PIL supports.
• Download the program and run it. It should output an "SD" folder. Extract its content to the root of your Switch's SD card.

Thanks

• SciresM for documenting how the Screenshot verification works on switchbrew, and for the key.
