PS5 FFPFSC PRO v1.2.1 Hotfix

🚀 PS5 FFPFSC PRO v1.2.1 Released 🚀

This is a hotfix release that addresses a major issue reported by the community regarding exFAT game dumps not being detected by the frontend.

🔥 What's Fixed in v1.2.1

✅ exFAT Game Detection Restored

The compression backend has always supported .exfat images, but the v1.2.0 frontend was not properly exposing them to the user interface.

This update adds full frontend support for exFAT images:

• Drag & drop .exfat files directly into the application
• Browse and select .exfat files from the file picker
• Automatic detection of .exfat images when scanning folders
• Multi-image discovery dialogs when multiple exFAT dumps are found
• Direct queue support without extraction

📦 Additional Improvements

• Improved game discovery workflow
• Better handling of mixed archive and exFAT collections
• Updated file picker filters
• Improved queue processing for direct image compression

⚠️ Important

If you previously believed exFAT dumps were unsupported in v1.2.0, the issue was only with frontend detection. The compression backend itself has always supported exFAT images.
