Noxen File Explorer: Razer Native — v2.0.1 R1.1

GitHub tag: RN-R1.1

This release updates NFE from the base native rebuild into the first updater-ready version.

Quick Summary

v2.0.1 R1.1 adds the updater foundation for Noxen File Explorer. The main app is still the Razer Native C++ / Qt file explorer line, but this release adds update package downloads, SHA-256 checksum validation, updater settings, rollback/log/cache folders, built-in themes, SaveData storage, Backspace-as-Up behavior, and a Win32 fallback repair mode.

Recommended Download

Use the Normal folder build unless you specifically need the one-file wrapper.

Build File Recommended for
Normal folder build NoxenFE_RazerNative_v2_0_1_R1_1_NormalBuild.zip Most users, update testing, repair testing, and troubleshooting.
One-file build NoxenFE_RazerNative_v2_0_1_R1_1_OneFileBuild.zip Users who want a single EXE-style wrapper.

New in v2.0.1 R1.1

  • Added resources/update/NFEUpdate.exe as the external updater launcher.
  • Added resources/update/NFEUpdateQt.dll for the Qt updater UI.
  • Added Win32 fallback / repair mode so the updater can repair resources/Qt/ without loading Qt.
  • Added server-side SHA-256 checksum validation for update packages.
  • Added updater folders:
    • Logs/
    • RoleBacks/
    • cashes/
    • Checksums/
    • DownloadedUpdatePackage/
  • Added updater settings under resources/SaveData/.
  • Added built-in themes under resources/Themes/built-in/.
  • Added future custom theme folder under resources/Themes/custom/.
  • Added Backspace-as-Up folder navigation behavior.
  • Moved settings/save data into resources/SaveData/.

Update Package Paths

The updater expects the website update folder to use this layout:

update/
├─ latest.zip
├─ latest.7z
├─ latest.tar
├─ update.wim
├─ Checksums/
│  ├─ latest.zip.sha256.txt
│  ├─ latest.7z.sha256.txt
│  ├─ latest.tar.sha256.txt
│  └─ update.wim.sha256.txt
└─ OF/
   ├─ update.zip
   ├─ update.7z
   ├─ update.tar
   ├─ update.wim
   └─ Checksums/
      ├─ update.zip.sha256.txt
      ├─ update.7z.sha256.txt
      ├─ update.tar.sha256.txt
      └─ update.wim.sha256.txt

Install Notes

  1. Download the build ZIP.
  2. Extract it to its own folder.
  3. Run NFE.
  4. Open Settings → Updater to configure update behavior.
  5. Use Tools → Check for Updates to open the updater from inside NFE.

One-File Build Note

The one-file build is still a wrapper around an extracted runtime. That is expected because Qt plugins, feature DLLs, updater files, and helper tools need to exist on disk.

When testing a new one-file build, delete the old extracted runtime first:

%LOCALAPPDATA%\Noxen File Explorer\OneFileRuntime

Known Notes

  • Normal folder build is the safest/recommended release package.
  • The updater uses bundled NFE 7-Zip files, not the system-installed 7-Zip context menu.
  • Normal update mode skips resources/Qt/; Repair mode uses the Win32 fallback when Qt files need to be replaced.
  • If an update fails, check resources/update/Logs/.
