Update to WBFS Manager 2.2
In-place Update:
Re-download the application from the original WBFS Manager 2.2 links (available here: http://wiinewz.com/forums/backup-loaders/95028-wbfs-manager-2-2-a.html)
Replaced the two download links with a new set with two additional features:
-Automatic cover downloading (You will be prompted the first time you run the program if you want to enable or disable this. You can also change this setting later from the Edit->Download Covers from Web menu).
-Region code information
-Changed default location for covers to My Documents\WBFS Manager Covers for better UAC compliance.

Wii Backup File System Manger 2.2 (WBFS Manager 2.2)
Written by AlexDP
This is a minor update to WBFS Manager, with the following fixes and changes.
Fixes:
-Kept error messages from appearing when adding multiple files. If an error occurs, the entry will be marked with a red error symbol in the Games to Add list and a tooltip with the error message will appear if you hover the mouse over the icon.
Changes:
-Added multilingual support (currently only French), contact me if you'd like to add support for your language.
-Added Hombrew Channel creation (not completely tested).
-Added Cover support. Hover mouse over an entry to see the cover.
-Now defaults the selected drive in the drive combo box to the last used drive.
-Item counts for both lists.
-Added Check for Updates to Help menu. Currently only links to WBFS Manager blog which will list updates. Plan to implement proper updater later to help everyone keep up to date.
Cover file instructions:
Copy covers into the Program Files\WBFS\WBFS Manager 2.2\Covers directory to show them in WBFS Manager
OR
Set your own cover directory from the Edit Menu in WBFS Manager (Edit->Set Covers Directory...).
Covers can be disabled by unchecking the Show Covers option (Edit->Show Covers).
Covers can be in subdirectories.
If you use set your own cover directory, that directory will be checked first, then this directory.
Cover files must be named as follows: DISCID.png where DISCID is the 6 letter disc ID for a given game. For example, Wii Sports cover would be: RSPE01.png
Multilingual support details:
WBFS Manager will automatically use the language of your operating system if it is one of the supported languages. If you'd like to manually change the language you can do so from the Edit->Language menu.
Contact me at wbfsmanager { at } gmail.com if you'd like to add support for your language to WBFS Manager.
Note: There is no shared code with the other wbfs_win GUI apps that have been released.
The wbfs_win.exe from the wbfs_win_delta release is also no longer being used by this application. It now uses a cleaner, less hacky way of using the libwbfs source code for direct manipulation.
Note 2: Although I've tested this a good deal it's only the first release and it may have some bugs. If you notice any let me know. For the most part everything should be ok as the actual work with the ISOs and WBFS drive are done in libwbfs. Of course, pulling your USB cable out while copying files isn't going to help.
Requirements:
-.NET Framework 3.5 SP1 (the installer will prompt you to automatically download and install it if you don't already have it.
Supported Operating Systems:
-Windows Vista (tested thoroughly. May need to "Run as Administrator" depending on user's settings and UAC settings).
-Windows 7 (tested and working. May need to "Run as Administrator" depending on user's settings and UAC settings).
-Windows XP (tested by a few other users, should work fine.)
What it does:
This application basically provides a GUI for the command line-based wbfs-win, used for accessing legal Wii Backups stored on disk drives that have been formatted to the WBFS file system.
It provides all the basic functionality that comes with wbfs-win, including formatting to wbfs, adding backups, getting a listing of backups already on the drive, extracting ISOs from the WBFS drive, etc.
Features:
-Listing of games with titles, sizes and codes.
-Drag-and-drop support for adding multiple files at once to the WBFS drive.
-Easy to use interface which also reports available, total and used disk space at a glance.
-Batch processing of multiple ISOs.
-Rename discs on the WBFS drive.
Instructions:
-Install using setup.
-Plug in the hard drive or USB stick.
-Run the application.
-Choose the correct drive letter.
-Click Load. (If you haven't already formatted the disk to WBFS, you can do that by clicking Format).
-You should now see any backups on the drive on the left hand side.
-You can drag and drop ISO files from Windows Explorer onto the right hand side or you can click the browse button.
-Click the Add to Drive button to copy them over to the WBFS drive.
-Enjoy!
Completed Future Plans:
-Using libwbfs directly to achieve greater flexiblity.
-Use a separate worker thread to improve responsiveness when doing IO operations.
Remaining Future Plans:
-ISO library
-Additional info from ISO (Game image shown in Disc Channel,...)
-UnRar functionality to automatically UnRar files and add the iso to the WBFS drive.
DISCLAIMER (Borrowed from Waninkoko, hopefully he won't mind :) )
THIS APPLICATION COMES WITH NO WARRANTY AT ALL, NEITHER EXPRESS NOR IMPLIED.
I DO NOT TAKE ANY RESPONSIBILITY FOR ANY DAMAGE TO YOUR WII CONSOLE
BECAUSE OF IMPROPER USAGE OF THIS SOFTWARE.
Thanks to Kwiirk for the wbfs tool, Sorg for the rename disc functionality, Waninkoko for a good deal of things and Team Twiizers.
Hopefully I've given everyone thier due credit. If you feel you deserve credit for a portion of the code used in this application please let me know.
WBFS Manager 2.1 Released
WBFS Manager 2.1 released, 04-08-2009.
http://wiinewz.com/forums/backup-loaders/94953-wbfs-manager-2-0-a.html
Just released WBFS Manager 2.1 which now has two versions, one (WBFS Manager 2.1-x86.zip) for 32 bit users and one (WBFS Manager 2.1-x64.zip) for 64 bit users. The 64 bit version has been recompiled for native 64 bit support and is without loss of features. The feature set for v2.1 is the same as 2.0.
Please note, you have to uninstall WBFS Manager 2.0 prior to installing 2.1. The installer will inform you that you have a previous version and need to remove it first.
Fixes:
-Fixed the 64 bit issues
-Fixed an issue with Windows XP formatting
-Fixed rename dialog default option

Wii Backup File System Manger 2.0 (WBFS Manager 2.0)
Written by AlexDP
Fixes:
-No black screen while adding or extracting. Application remains responsive and reports progress.
-Fixed issue with size information being covered by scroll bars.
-A few other minor fixes.
Changes:
-Added rename functionality (thanks to Sorg).
-Application now directly uses libwbfs, rather than using wbfs_win.exe.
-Added icons for better usability.
-Added list sorting functionality (right click on each list for the different sort options.
-Added blocks used to status bar.
-Added visual indicators to "Games to add" list. Check mark if the iso was copied successfully, red error symbol if the copying the iso failed.
-Changed "size" label to "estimated size" in the "Games to add" list. Added iso size information. Reported estimated sizes are still estimates and may be significantly different from actual size on WBFS drive. Sizes on the "Games on WBFS drive" list are accurate.
-Added first time welcome screen with basic instructions.
-Added "Refresh Drive List" button in case a USB drive was not plugged in when the program started. Clicking Refresh Drive List should show USB drives that were plugged in after WBFS Manager started.
-Added support for dropping a folder instead of one or more iso files. All iso files in the dropped folder and its subdirectories will automatically be added.
-Added progress bars and an activity indicator to indicate the program is running and has not crashed to Windows XP users.
Note: There is no shared code with the other wbfs_win GUI apps that have been released.

Note: There is no shared code with the other wbfs_win GUI apps that have been released.
