What's new

Adds RIGHT button select in the file browser dialogs and changes the Open File action to Open File/Directory in Settings > Desktop > Keybinds Setup. This adds the ability to open to any directory in the Archive app, in addition to the default behavior of opening a file in it's default app.

- Adds *RIGHT* button select in the file browser dialogs and changing the `Open File` action to `Open File/Directory` in `Settings > Desktop > Keybinds Setup`. This adds the ability to open to any directory in the Archive app, in addition to the default behavior of opening a file in it's default app.

Main Menu: Allow adding JS files (or any file)
66e0f71 
- Normal files and directories are now able to be added to then main menu and are run in their appropriate apps.
- e.g. .txt files shown in text viewer, .js files are run in the JS Runner app, and folders are navigated to by the Archive app. All similar to the desktop keybinds functionality.
- Icons are also assigned appropriately based on the extensions, though more could probably be added to the `loader_menu_get_ext_icon` function.
- Also replaced some of the long arduous is_dir checks and just used the `storage_dir_exists` function since its already there and does the same.

The adding of JS files and other stuff to the main menu seemed connected to the initial PR with the select_right thing for the keybinds dialog, so I just added on to this PR instead of creating a new one for this feature.

Another thing I was thinking about but haven't messed with is whether the word App ought to still be used in the menu, as it can basically have any file type with this change, not just apps. For simplicity sake it'd probably be best just to keep it, though I think File can work well if you think of everything on the device as 'a file', including apps.

  • "App 1/12" -> "File 1/12"
  • "Add App" -> "Add File"
  • "Move App" -> "Move FIle"
  • "Remove App" -> "Remove File"

Just a thought.

i think "Item" would work better as a single name for both apps and files. or alternatively, could use both app and file, changing the text of the buttons based on what is currently selected, but that is a bit over the top i think

Oh yep, you're right. "Item" is generic enough for all of it 👍
