Just one thing from a 64gb model owner #5

First of all thank you so much. I still have to juggle files between the sd and emmc since i dont want to redownload the shaders every time i want to replay a game so i move the ones for games i have not played in a while. its much easier to do and fully uninstall now. Can this be taken further :)? The Ideal version of this app would let me move the files back and forth to a sd card and the internal by clicking on a button this would let us keep the games we are currently playing on the internal memory and replace the files for games we are not currently playing with symlinks until we switch back when we want too. This combined with a bar showing free space like on steamos would essentially let user juggle the files to keep only what they need in the internal memory and save the shaders they dont on the sd card so they can be restored quickly rather than redownload from scratch.

Is this possible? The just perfect version would be for it to have an auto button which makes it scan for when a game was last used and archive the shaders for the least used games on the sd automatically.

as it is its still awesome for those of us who can barely afford the 64gb model. I hope you continue to develop this, it makes my device worth owning! :) Greetings from argentina

I also discovered that when most of the shader folder is taken by prerendered video, it's safe in terms of performance to use a sym link just for the video file leaving the actual shaders on the internal memory, this saves a lot
