PS5 Library 0.7.20
Changes
- Files. A new tab in the top bar: a simple file manager for the internal SSD (
/data) and USB drives. Select an item with the D-pad; its details and actions appear on the right. - Unpack here extracts a ZIP, 7z or RAR archive, split sets too (
.7z.001,.part1.rar), into a new folder next to it. The archive stays. - Install a game image, package, archive or game folder you copied over; it goes through the same steps as a download. Installing a split archive now uses all its parts.
- Copy or Move, then Paste here in the target folder. On one drive a move is instant; between drives it runs in Downloads with progress, pause and cancel. The copy only appears complete, and a move deletes the original last.
- Rename, New folder, Delete, a filter and sorting by name, size or date. On a phone or computer, Download saves a file to that device. Drive roots, the library's own settings files and a running job's folders are protected.
- Show in Files (My games), Show files (Downloads) and Browse (Settings → Downloads) open the matching folder.
- Settings have a section menu on the left, with one section at a time: Catalogs, Downloads, Accounts, Console, Guide, About.
- Symbols instead of "?" The console's fonts lack some symbols, for example the Cross sign in the controller hints. Hints, checkmarks and the search icon are drawn as icons now.
- Fresher look: a pill navigation bar, gradient buttons and progress bars, glass panels and a brighter focus ring for the controller.
- More fits on screen. The PS5 browser has no full-screen mode for web pages, so its bars stay; in its window the layout is denser and shows more of the library.
Validation and limitations
Native build, host integration (including unpacking plain and split archives, copy jobs, instant moves, downloads and refused paths) and UI checks passed. Tested on PS5 firmware 13.60 in the library's own test folders: unpacking on a USB drive, copying USB → internal and moving back as jobs, rename and instant move, a file download with matching SHA-256, and a protected drive root. A test page in the PS5 browser confirmed that it provides no Fullscreen API and which symbols its fonts lack. The layout was checked in the browser's 1540×700 window with live data.
Copying and unpacking queue behind running downloads. Load the new ELF; it replaces the running version and keeps your catalogs and settings. A download in progress pauses; Resume continues it.
