NX-Shell v4.01

Since there has been a lot of FS refactoring, and some new dialogues in this release certain functionalities such as extracting compressed zip files and language settings are currently not available. This may be re-added at a later date. There may also be some bugs, but I have tried my best to extensively test this project. USB support has also finally been added, its important to remember to unmount your usb drive before ejecting. You can find the unmount button in the settings tab.

Change-log:

• Fixed rename bug introduced in v4.00
• Added option to disable extended font support. (Initially disabled by default -- this boosts the application start up speed)
• After USB is unmounted via settings the device state will now be properly switch back to sdmc.
