u/gibajr on reddit is taking XCI management to the next level. His initial release here.

"My Idea was to make a way of listing all my XCI files and show their info without need to open file by file. I'm a newbie on C# so the code is not beauty." - u/gibajr

To be fair, I'm a noob too. My C#/coding skills are sub-par. Any help would be appreciated!

• Other fixes and changes I already forgot

v0.0.1

• Initial release

As always, I haven't extensively tested this release. I'm curious how long it takes to batch trim/rename 200 files, but I don't have the time or bandwidth to test that. If you find a bug or something isn't working right, submit an issue on GitHub or reply here!

kinda liked seeing file name with the actual name on file
.6v loads folders faster then v7 [actually hung loading 200 files] but it eventually loads

Just woke up and am going to review the code and think of a more optimized way to do it. v0.0.7 is pretty intensive from what I can see on load.

 

[uzi]

maybe next update, a collection tab. compares db with files in hd if you have it or missing? lol
idk just throwing it out there as a collector ;p

have program make a txt file db of said collection / export list

Thats because it reads info from all files to populate the list. We can use that information to, for example, sort files by Title ID, Masterkey Revision, Developer, and so on...
Indeed, I know we can improve the code and make it faster.

I see that. I was experimenting with ObjectListView too since it's a better version of ListView, but haven't used it before. Will probably scrap it, and I've heard XmlReader is faster so it might help the load time.

The slowdown is because it needs to decrypt the XCI and get info there. I could not find a way to bypass that, its beyond my knowledge.
What I was thinking is:

a) Make a thread that populates the list while de main window stills usable (Not good...)
b) Save info into a XML and then load that on next execution of the program. This way it should be slow only on the first use.

Just noticed that util function. Damn, this requires understanding of XCI/NCA :/. We need need an efficient way to get the titleid from XCI files.

 

[straumli]

Works (very) fine but indeed it is slow starting up and switching between titles. Perhaps you could introduce a caching mechanism?
Also, for the batch renamer, perhaps you could show an example based on the first title in your list so you get an idea what the end result will be?

Bug: After renaming files the gamelist needs to be refreshed/updated as they can no longer be found (results in error when selecting)

 

[chronoss]

Thanks, the last version is very good !

 

[NotMii]

Check out the new version guys. As always, I try to test every case but sometimes things slip past me. Let me know if you notice any glaring bugs.

 

[uzi]

i dig the cachin , but can we sort by id?
is it possible to hide columns? or drag then around
i would like to put mine as,

id, game , size

Allowing you to move columns is easy to do, but it won't save on exit (maybe in the future, but you can move columns in v0.0.8rev4). Sorting is a little different and requires more work because things depend on the list order.

You can now sort by ID or Game Name

Should be fixed in latest release, sorry about that. If some of your entries have "???" in any field, go to Tools->Update NSWDB.

What does it really do sorry I’m new to this

 

[WiiuGold]

i loaded 224 games on it , took about 4 mins there some errors on games with rev 1 or 2 0001 it makes it

Nothing revolutionary. It just lists your XCI files from a folder into a list with info about each file. You can trim/inject certs too.

Yep, it's a known issue. Thanks for testing with a large list!

 

[Sp1tFire92]

Is/will it be possible to manage eshop games aswell later? Anyways, allready a nice little tool, ty.

We'll see. A new Switch Manager will be out soon and it blows this out of the water. Stay tuned!
