Homebrew [Release] Homebrew Launcher with grid layout

[mashers]

okay both of them work now. maybe I should add an option for this...

Great, thanks buddy. Yeah, maybe a file which I can push to GH which is checked by the script, and if present it will deny access to the updates. Or a password protected PHP script which will toggle the enabled state of the updater?

All - beta 121 is now live in the online updater. This version addresses a serious bug with getting the title ID for carts in both the main and title menus. The launcher will now automatically refresh the title ID when inserting a cart (and also on first boot). This means you should be able to start the launcher up with or without a cart inserted, and know that whenever you insert or change the cart it will attempt to boot it using the correct title ID.

this is, in fact, what I'm doing right now.

I like the banners but is there a way to remove the title + decription because those are kinda in the way when making fullscreen banners

Great idea. How about this:

• Two separate banner image filenames:
  • <title id or app name>-banner.png
  • <title id or app name>-banner-fullscreen.png
• If the -banner-fullscreen.png file is present, it will be used and the text will stay there
• Otherwise, if the -banner.png file is present, it will be used and the text and top panel will not be shown
• The fullscreen banner will take priority (so if both are present, only the fullscreen version will be shown

This way, banners can be created at different sizes and the text can then be made optional and contingent on which banner is used. How's that?

Yes, that would be perfect also maybe an extra background for the non-banner apps so you can use a box for the text?

Do you mean an image instead of the current panel function?

 

[3003x]

Yes I do.

 

[BurningDesire]

Yes I do.

No not yet the theme has still some little things I want to fix like the bunny holding the app icon

Im having an issue with grid launcher and braindump.Instead of dumping New Super Mario Bros 2 (Cart) it dumps the Download Play app.

you must not have the .xml with braindump, so this most likely isn't an issue with the grid launcher.

I've just launched braindump with an older Grid Launcher version and its succesfully dumping the NSMB2 Data.

 

[mashers]

No idea what braindump is. Can you log an issue on GB please and provide some description?

Beta 122 went out but I forgot to post about it. Beta 123 is also now out. These updates added the following:

• Added full screen banners. These have exactly the same format as normal banners. The filename and location is the same, except they have -banner-fullscreen.png at the end instead of just -banner.png. If a banner with -fullscreen.png is found, then the app's title, author, description and panel will not be displayed, so the banner can be seen full screen.
• Cart banners now show on the main grid and update when carts are changed.

braindump is another title that uses .xml/the title selector, like svdt and HANS (don't confuse it with shortcuts).

I've just launched braindump with an older Grid Launcher version and its succesfully dumping the NSMB2 Data.

are you able to use other things like svdt properly?

 

[ihaveahax]

anyone who is getting an error with the updater and "404" on the bottom; sorry, that's me doing some tests. I'll enable it very soon.

enabled now!

 

[George35000vr]

It doesn't work neither with svdt :/
(I opened an issue on GH for that)

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------

XML Shortcuts works though...

I am having the same issue on the newest version. I cannot open any applications that use the title selector .XML functionality--It just freezes the second I try to open it.

I commented on the GitHub issue with some details, although in my case they were pretty similar to @George35000vr's.

Anyone have a link to an older version where they know the Title Selector worked? I'm going to set up OoT3DHax for a friend this week. Nevermind, I realized I'm dumb and can always switch to Smea's Launcher for the time being.

Edit: Also, it seems going to Settings->Title Filtering gives the same results. Not sure if that helps at all.

Edit 2: Having some random crashes now if I stay in the Launcher moving the cursor around too much. This could be a larger problem.

On Beta 123 HANS works like 1/5 tries, Not sure what's happening but times it loads and times it doesn't, I made sure there's no other version of HANS but I'm really confused what's happening now.

PS : Something's up with the updater script aswell, error string "?" 216 unable to open zip
