All features

File management

• browse on the left; right Target panel is copy/move/extract destination
• Sidebar places: Root (/), Data (/data), Homebrew (/data/homebrew), User (/user), Mounts (/mnt), connected USB/ext volumes, custom shortcuts
• Other paths (e.g. under /system_data) via Root or custom shortcuts
• Upload files (drag-and-drop or picker) with progress, speed, and ETA
• Download files over HTTP (buffered stream)
• Copy and Move with background jobs, progress, speed, cancel
• Conflict prompts — Overwrite / Merge / Skip when destinations collide
• Rename, create folders, recursive delete (with cancel)
• Click-to-calculate folder sizes

Selection

• Checkbox multi-select (controller-friendly)
• Select All header checkbox
• Row click = single select; checkbox toggles without clearing others

Search and Index All

• Priority roots first: /data, /user, USB/ext, then system mounts and /
• XDEV fencing — does not cross st_dev (avoids sandbox/nullfs recursion risk)
• Soft-fail per root; never full-crawls /dev, /proc, sandbox/shadowmnt hubs, etc.
• Optional cache: /data/BFpilot/search.idx
• Case-insensitive multi-term search with match highlighting

Archive extraction (integrated in main ELF)

• ZIP — Stored, Deflate, ZIP64, ZipCrypto, split volumes
• RAR — RAR4/RAR5, password, multipart .partN.rar
• 7z — LZMA/LZMA2, password, split .7z.001
• Password prompt in UI; progress/speed/ETA; partial cleanup on error/cancel
• Extract destination defaults from Target panel

Image viewer

• Formats: PNG, JPG, JPEG, GIF, BMP, WebP, ICO, SVG
• Pan, wheel zoom (~0.1×–10×), 90° rotate, reset
• Double-click to open; Escape to close

Text editor

• Inline edit for common text types (txt, ini, cfg, log, json, xml, js, py, sh, md, conf, html, css, c/h/cpp, …)
• Full-screen overlay; saves back to PS5 FS (UI size limits apply)

Log viewer

• BFpilot server, archive, search crawl, boot logs under /data/BFpilot/
• PS5 VSH log and Error History decoder under /system_data/priv/...
• Auto-refresh every 2s while open

Navigation and shortcuts

• Breadcrumb path navigation
• Persistent custom shortcuts (/data/BFpilot/shortcuts.txt) — add / rename / remove
• Storage free/total summary when volume stats are available
• USB/ext only listed when mounted

Networking and performance (v0.4.0)

• HTTP keep-alive (up to 64 requests/connection) for multi-file upload
• Upload: 2 MiB single-buffer STOR (recv→write); no multi-GB fallocate-while-stream; no bulk TCP_NODELAY
• Listen SO_RCVBUF 4 MiB, SO_SNDBUF 2 MiB, backlog 32
• Download stream buffer 1 MiB
• Virtual row recycling for huge directories

Exit and reload

• Toolbar Exit — clean shutdown via /api/control/shutdown (token-protected)
• Releases port 5905 for re-inject without reboot

Permissions

• Created files/dirs use mode 0777 (umask(0) + chmod/fchmod)

Diagnostics

• /api/status — version/build
• /api/diag — bind/listen, errno, checkpoints, launcher flags
• Crash log: /data/BFpilot/crash.log

Notes

• Upload to /data is often write-bound (PFS); prefer wired LAN for large transfers
• See docs/UPLOAD_PERFORMANCE.md and CHANGELOG.md in the repo
