Hello everyone, the new release with the much requested USB support is finally here! (Couldn't have done it without @DarkMatterCore's usb library) It's worth mentioning since it is such a big update (backend changes and FS refactor) there *may* be some issues, but the only way I can find and fix those is through you guys! However rest assured, I did run a lot of tests myself to make sure it is functioning as expected. If I waited a month, it would've been exactly 2 years since the last release .

Change-log:

• FS:
  • Added support for browsing USB devices.
  • Switched back to libc to handle FS operations.
  • Brought back support for browsing other devices such as safe, user and system.
• GUI:
  • Update to imGui v1.88.
  • Switch to imGui's new keyEvent API.
  • The two views (File Browser and Settings) can now be navigated as tabs.
  • Switched from list view to a table view using imGui's table API.
  • Sorting is no longer applied from settings, it can be done directly by clicking on the table column headers.
  • A new selector has been added to allow the user to switch to different devices such as safe, user, USB etc.
  • Settings are no longer categorized by imGui's tree system.
  • No longer uses SDL2 as a backend, but instead uses opengl v3 directly (along with egl).
• Fixes:
  • Properly delete config file if the config file version is outdated.
  • Properly free textures after exiting application.
  • Fixed scrolling via the right joystick after zooming into an image.
  • Lots of code clean up and under the hood changes that are too many to list here.

you should probably edit the download link
it still links to version 1.00
just remove /tag/1.00 from the link

I don't know if it's NX-Shell issue, but I often get error code: 2345-0021 going in or out of NX-Shell.
Anybody experience the same thing? Thanks.

Hi @Joel16
I noticed that selecting properties for folder does not show the size.
Also it seems I cannot confirm the rename with the joycon (I have to use touch to confirm with the 'V')

Sounds like an external problem. Are you using layeredFS, Hekate or anything other than the ordinary hbmenu?

You can use PLUS. MINUS will discard changes and cancel the rename, PLUS will accept the changes. (Only in OSK).

Ah! Didn't know that! Thanks

since SciresM released LayeredFS it would be real neato if this file browser could access the romfs of games so that game mods can happen easier.

I am using SX OS to load the hbmenu then NX Shell, Thanks

Release NX-Shell Beta 4

Honestly at this point, I'm thinking of dropping the beta tag. If people would agree please do let me know. I think the program has enough features and is somewhat stable enough at this point.

Sorry, not as of now. But you can zoom in/out and position the PDF to your liking. You should be thanking @rock88 for implementing the ebook reader. Maybe he can add the portrait mode as well if it's not too much of hassle. Otherwise I can look into it.

 

[Zumoly]

I agree. The beta tag should be dropped.
Thanks for the new features! PDF reading will be handy.
One bug I've noticed though: if you try to open a folder with too many files (700?) it freezes. Quitting and attrmpting to reopen it causes the same issue as it saves the latest path accessed. You'd have to delete the text file containung the path to make it work.

I think the folder size is very important... maybe after that, yes, DROP the BETA!

Also, there's an annoying "bug" : moving a files is very slow (it should be instant, as it moves within the same device).

I think the current implementation just copies the files first and then deletes the original files.

Yep, in my plans add few page layout (like two pages, page in portrait orientation, maybe some else), touch control and save/restore last opened page.

I still have an issue when opening large folders. My pfba rom folder is 12 gigs and the program just locks up. Have to delete the lastdir.txt to get it going again

Please read the change-log. Literally just got fixed.


To those reporting issues with like 500+ files, I'm going to need testers. Once I get working on it, I'll let you know by pm.

Can't calculate folder size while listing, it would make the program too slow. Perhaps in file properties I'll add it.

Woot all the good stuff from the 3ds is coming over to the switch.
