From my last WBFS Manager 2.2 thread did AlexDP post this:

In case your interested, WBFS Manager 2.5 just released and you can get it here: http://wbfsmanager.codeplex.com/Release/Pr...ReleaseId=26363
As always, looking forward to your feedback.
In case your wondering why I this version doesn't have Channel creation or direct Drive-To-Drive copying, I'm still working on those, but had these ready, so I decided to make these publicly available until direct copying and Channel creation are ready (for v3).
Thanks for your patience.

QUOTE(AlexDP @ Apr 20 2009, 09:09 PM) First off, I'd like to thank the few people who generously donated their hard-earned money, no matter how much the amount was.
Second, I'd like to thank all the translators who put in their own precious time to help with the translations and BarbaxX for the new imagery.
I'd also like to thank the users who provided feedback and sent in their error messages to help improve this version.
This is the last major update to WBFS Manager before version 3.0 which will be feature complete, with the following fixes and changes:

Changes (2.5)

* Added indirect Drive-To-Drive transferring and cloning. (Click Drive-To-Drive expander (the line under the buttons) to show related options).
* Added automatic RAR archive extraction (drag and drop or use the browse button).
* Added batch extraction and deletion. (Hold shift to select a range of items, or hold Ctrl to select separate individual items).
* Added exporting list of games on drive to a .CSV (Comma-separated values) file. Right-click on left-hand list and click export. Can export entire list or only selected items.
* Added ability to use more than one cover directory (all downloaded covers will still be downloaded to My Documents\WBFS Manager Covers)
* Added estimated total size for Games to Add list.
* Added Italian, German and Chinese (Traditional) language support
* Added information about the number of items in each list.
* Added message informing user that they're using the wrong version if they try using 32-bit version on 64-bit Windows.
* Updated some icons and imagery (courtesy of BarbaxX).
* All changes from previous versions are included.

Fixes (2.5)

* Fixed an issue with some buttons being hidden in some languages. (Now using a toolbar. Click on arrow on right side of toolbar to see any hidden icons).
* Fixed a bug with the 2.2.2 not working on Chinese OSes (released earlier as Chinese Edition).
* Fixed some special cases for region codes.
* Fixed some issues with some translations.
* Fixed a few other minor bugs.
* All fixes from previous versions are included.

Thanks for posting this. I'd just like to add a little part from my original Wiinewz post (that doesn't fit on the CodePlex page):

@AlexDP - Fantastic work ... I will be sliding over for a donation myself.

Thanks a million !

Maybe this falls under a feature request more than anything, but is it possible to have a wbfs program that will compare the game id lists on 2 wbfs drives and synchronize any game ids that aren't on the other drive. It's kind of tricky to explain, but basically just have the program merge wbfs drive A and B, anything not on Drive A that is on Drive B, gets synced onto drive A, and Vice Versa.

Unless of course this is already implemented in this program... then ignore me

This isn't exactly there as you describe it but you can get the same effect by cloning Drive A to Drive B, then cloning Drive B to Drive A. Any games that are already there on the target drive will be skipped.

No, sorry. This tool doesnt support DVD-> WBFS, and I'm not really sure it will in the foreseeable future unless someone develops it once I release the source (next few days). I understand this tool does have that feature though: http://gbatemp.net/index.php?showtopic=149624

Bummer. Yours is beautiful, while his has the feature. Dang....

If that feature is implemented, rest assured this will be my number 1 WBFS manager.

Thanks for replying though.

Another question, since my USB HD is a 2.5" converted, the comp reads it as a Hard drive. I have like four partitions on the 80GB harddrive. So, I'm thinking of ripping isos onto a partition, then dump that iso into my WBFS partition. No problem, right?

Well, looks good...but does it supports copying the games like Wanins Loader v1.5 does (with Update-Partitions)? I know this question is noobish, but haven't found something on search..I'm guessing none of the Tools is able to do this for now, right?

Try going into the program file and running it as administrator instead of using the shortcut.

I think you'll do better in ripping the dvd on your Wii, cause ripping the dvd on your pc requires an special dvd drive (with special firmware on it) and lasts about 2 hours for an dvd.....
