PS4 PKG Tool v1.7

Added

  • Fast startup with manifest cache. Your library loads instantly from a cached manifest. At startup choose between loading the cache, scanning configured folders, or starting empty. #33
  • Startup dialog: Manifest load, directory scan, or empty list with drag-and-drop. #33
  • File menu actions for all three modes: Load from saved directory, Load from manifest, Save manifest, Empty list. #33
  • Grouped list view. PKGs can be grouped by Title, Title ID, Category, System Version, or PKG Type. Group headers have a right-click menu with Rename by Install Priority that renames every PKG in the group. #33
  • Grouped list view synced both ways with the main grid. Click in either view highlights in the other.
  • Title column added to the main grid, so game names are visible without clicking a row. #62
  • Drag and drop PKG container folders onto the main window to load them. #49
  • Latest Update column on the main screen, showing the newest available update version for each PKG without opening the Update tab. #35
  • Rename by Install Priority. Files are grouped by Title ID and renamed with sequence prefixes: 00 - Base, 01 - Update. Add-on and App PKGs are skipped. Available in both the table context menu and the grouped view. #70
  • Move PKG to single folder. Puts all selected PKGs flat into one output folder.
  • Copy title and copy filename in the grid context menu.
  • Download Official Update moved from a dedicated tab to a standalone form.
  • Tabbed log panel at the bottom of the main window. Info, warnings, and errors all go to the Log tab.
  • Extraction locks the app. Only the stop button and progress bar stay active during extraction. #76
  • Trophy metadata viewer. After building the NP Communication ID cache in Program Settings, trophy names, descriptions, grades (Bronze/Silver/Gold/Platinum), hidden status, and group info are shown in the Trophies tab.
  • Report Bug button in About. Opens the GitHub issues page.

Improved

  • Temp extraction paths moved to short system temp folder. Games with deep internal structures no longer hit path-length limits. #76
  • Grouped view mirrors the filter from the table tab and controls both views.
  • File Browser tree and list view rebuilt with DarkUI controls. File population is faster and extraction from the tree is more reliable.
  • Extraction, file renaming, and PKG scanning speed improved. DataTable uses bulk loading and batched grid updates.

Fixed

  • Firmware 10.x displayed as "1.05" or "A.32". Now parses using byte extraction instead of hex substring. #63
  • PS5 BC, PSVR, PS4 Pro Enhanced, and Latest Update columns visible on first launch when they should be hidden.
  • Stale PKG details appearing in the panel during rapid row selection. #74
  • Exception thrown when sorting by filename and typing in the filter search box. #65
  • Recursive search checkbox now matches the app's behavior. Unchecking it scans only the current directory. #60
  • Move by Title, Category, Type, Region, and Title Id all broken by a case mismatch. Only Flat mode worked.
  • Corrupt PKG no longer aborts the entire directory scan. It is skipped and the scan continues.

Removed

  • Refresh PKG list, Open App Data Folder, and more removed from the grid context menu.
  • Tool menu removed from the toolbar.
  • Refresh PKG list removed from the File menu. Use Load from saved directory or Load from manifest instead.

Changed

  • Moved to .NET 10 from .NET 7.
  • Data folder renamed from PS4PKGToolTemp to AppData. Existing v1.6 settings need manual copy.
  • Now bundled with PS4 Fake PKG Tools.
  • View and Extract tab renamed to File Browser.
  • Additional Info tab renamed to PKG Internal.
