Quiver Release Notes
2.3.0
Quiver 2.3.0 adds full gamepad navigation across the launcher and improves how community catalog lists are loaded and displayed.
Gamepad navigation
Navigate the entire launcher with a controller when Enable gamepad input is on in Settings (enabled by default).
- Library — Move between apps in grid, list, and compact views. A launches or downloads the selected app. Y opens the options menu.
- Sidebar and top bar — Reach sidebar items, search, update check, settings, and window controls (minimize, fullscreen, close) without a mouse.
- Edge escape — At the left or top edge of main content, Left or Up moves focus to the sidebar or top bar instead of wrapping within the content area.
- App Catalog — Navigate Add Source, Refresh, source filters, and catalog cards. On a selected card, A focuses the Enabled checkbox; Left/Right move between Enabled, Review, and Remove; B returns to whole-card selection. Move between cards with the D-pad while the card itself is selected.
- Catalog review — Browse and filter pending review entries with the controller.
- Overlays — Dialogs, context menus, and combo box dropdowns support gamepad confirm, cancel, and item selection.
- Hints bar — A on-screen hint bar shows basic controls while gamepad mode is active.
- Reliability — Fixed duplicate activations on top-bar buttons and improved input repeat timing for smoother scrolling through long lists.
Community catalog
- Index v2 — Supports the streamlined community catalog index format: a registry of list IDs and fetch URLs. List metadata now lives in each list file.
- List metadata from source files — When a catalog list is fetched or refreshed, Quiver reads
name,description, andversionfrom the list JSON and updates the source display accordingly. - Smarter fallbacks — If a list file omits a name, Quiver derives a readable display name from the list URL (for example,
N64-Recomps.jsonbecomesN64 Recomps). - Documentation — README updated with examples of the v2 index and list file formats.
