I see this author is starting to learn a little more file functionality other then his last release which could be accomplished by a couple of CLI commands. This one can be accomplished with a few more. While I tend to like ANSI GUI's his taste in color is an eyesore plus his graphics are horrid. Someone needs to go download a bunch of oldskool ANSI files, load up TheDraw and learn what makes a good GUI. I think he could teach himself a little VB in less then a day to make this happen with some nice 24-bit graphics.

I mean fair enough, but to me it does not need a fancy GUI... its a tiny patch for MM....

as long as it does whats intended, im quite happy and appreciative.

I don't think the comment you made was very nice, didn't your mother teach you "if you got nothing nice to say, don't say nothing at all".

nag, nag, nag, nag... Someone needs their tampon changed.

Agrees with owen420. Don't like it? Do something better and release it yourself.

All I can say is: At least someone is trying to give back to the community.

Why would this need a fancy GUI to start with? I spend a lot of time in DOS/Command Prompt doing various tasks because I'm more comfortable with it than Windows (I'm showing my age on that one) plus there's a speed boost on large automated processes. I'll give you that I would have preferred a no-color background because for me it makes it easier to read. Or hell, no GUI at all because it's not really needed. If there was no GUI you could make calls to it in other programs/bats.

True, it's nothing fancy and it won't get keys or anything else in high demand, but it serves a purpose and does what it says it will do. That's good enough for me

@BahumatLord

You're right it doesn't need a GUI as a simple batch file could suffice.

@owen420 ... Maybe you're too stoned to realize, but I was offering constructive criticism; albeit a bit harsh. I personally just think posting simple apps which serve little to no purpose that can be done with a few lines of batch code or in the authors case a few lines of code (in whatever language he used - he could of just wrote a batch file and used a BAT->EXE converter). So the app may be of some use to people who are smart enough to navigate through a windowed environment, but clueless on how to handle the CLI. However, I stand with saying the GUI is awful. If the author is going to waste his time posting programs that are comprised with 10-15 lines of code he could at least put a little effort into them and borrow a damn ASCII/ANSI.

Now if this program ran on the PS3 I would have a little more respect then someone throwing some CLI commands around.

Do better? LOL...

Then why don't you ppl produce one that out shines his release and Quit bitching about it like a bunch of ragged out bitches.

Side note: I went through this same shit when I released a GUI for the KMEAW patches and Geohotz patches and so forth. All bunch of talk but still didn't out do my GUI - OP ((PC) GUI CMD CFW Patcher v1.0.8r4 - Final).

Talk talk talk blah blah blah nag nag nag. Bunch of little girls bitching cause they didn't do something so simple before someone else did.

In case someone want to delete the unnecesary covers from multiMAN's covers folder in your PS3
(/dev_hdd0/game/BLES80608/USRDIR/covers/)

Use this script:
http://aldostools.org/temp/remove_unnecessary_covers.sc

;Replace "ps3" with the IP of your PS3 console
open ps3
root
ifnoconnection abort
cd /dev_hdd0/game/BLES80608/USRDIR/covers/

dir
msgbox "done"
quit

with my PS3 FTP Client 2.9 (updated to add script support)

the script could work also with the Windows' FTP.exe using the following CMD line:

%windir%\system32\FTP.exe -s:remove_unnecessary_covers.sc

but you have to edit the script with a text editor (eg. notepad) to specify the proper IP of your PS3 console.

The script could work also as a batch (with little or any change), if it is renamed to .cmd or .bat, to delete local files

aldostools, does your method only work with the JPG covers, and not the PNG covers? If so, do you have any plans on implementing the PNG removal as well?
