Uploads that can't fit are now refused before they start, big folders
finish, and you can edit a mounted game image in place.

  • "It won't fit" is said up front, not four hours in. The PS5 holds
    back a large chunk of internal storage that the free-space number never
    shows, so an upload could pass every check, run for seventeen minutes,
    and die at 53% with a connection error that never mentioned the disk.
    Uploads are now checked against the space actually usable, on both the
    app and the console, and the destination picker shows usable space
    instead of free space.
  • If it does run out mid-upload, it says so. That failure used to
    surface as six identical "connection forcibly closed" messages. Now it
    names the drive, the numbers, and stops retrying something that cannot
    succeed.
  • Folders with thousands of small files upload again. Anything over
    about 7,000 small files used to fail with an unreadable socket error
    after all the data had already arrived. A 20,000-file folder now
    completes.
  • Edit a mounted disk image in place. Mount an .exfat read-write and
    the File Browser becomes an image editor: Add files copies files in
    from your computer, and Replace overwrites one file keeping its name.
    This is what lets you drop in DLC, swap assets, or apply a backport patch
    when a game ships as an image instead of a folder. Edits are permanent
    and there is no undo — the app now says so before you start.
  • The sidebar is yours. It used to assume five screens mattered to
    everyone. Now only Home is pinned, and you star whatever you actually use
    from More.
  • Firmware 12 installs stop pretending. The last-resort installer path
    could report success after copying nothing at all. It is gone from the
    automatic sequence; the app keeps your staged package and explains the
    real error instead.
  • Translation fixes. "From" and "To" in the file move screens had been
    translated as the email senses — German read "Mr.", Spanish "born in",
    Japanese "start date". Several messages also showed raw \n and \"
    instead of line breaks and quotes.
  • The sidebar shows which version you are running, so a bug report can
    say so without hunting through About.
