Custom downloads - non .zip files

[Adamados]

What feature are you suggesting?

I would like to add at the custom_packs.json with url of .nro or other file type and be able to specify the location where i would like to download them and overwrite.

Good Idea, but not needed if you setup the folderstructure on your own!

A zip file with a folder will extract the folder on SD and a zip file without a folder will extract the content to SD!

Example1 = If you have your own Pack with the folders

• yourPackfolder
  • atmosphere
  • bootloader
  • config

If you make a zip of the folder it will be extracted on SD in the "yourPackfolder" folder!
If you make a zip inside your pack folder with atmosphere, bootloader, config, ... folders and files they will be directly extracted to SD!
NOT good because if atmosphere is running... you get the point!

But you could make a zip with link in misc in that file for, let's say DBI:
Example2 =

• yourzip.zip
  • switch
    • DBI
      • DBI.nro
      • dbi.config

Now the switch folder will be extracted an put anything on the right place!

Even checked that I got you wrong because you want to make a URL to a file (other than zip)
Would be nice indeed, but I can live with my solution above :)

As said above, working with archives ensures the correct directory structure. That's also how the scene has been working.

I could implement downloading non-zips to the root of the sd card, but I'm not interested in writing a file manager just to set the download path for a file

What i wanted is to download/update the DBI once its release just by pitting this link https://github.com/rashevskyv/dbi/releases/latest/download/DBI.nro and specify where it should be downloaded.
With this way it always download latest release.

If its not possible, at least allow to download non .zip file and i will manage to move the files via copy_files.txt

what i want is to create a list of applications/add-ons and once an update release i can update them directly without creating by myself the .zip file and upload it somewhere and then download it to switch or transfer via USB/FTP (still need to download first on PC and then transfer to Switch)
