Changelog

All notable changes to PS5 Vault are documented here.

[2.4.4] — 2026

Bug Fixes

Source folder cleanup buttons showed "Error" after a Move
After moving games the completion screen shows a "Source folder cleanup" section with a Delete button for each parent folder. Clicking it always showed "Error" — the underlying delete function existed but was never wired up to the UI. Now works correctly: clicking Delete removes the empty parent folder and shows the confirmation inline.

Scanning an empty folder caused the app to freeze
If you moved all games out of a folder and then scanned it again, the scan bar would spin forever and the UI would appear locked. This happened because the previous scan had cached the game entries in memory — those stale entries appeared in the table briefly, then the scan returned zero results, and the code that dismisses the scan bar only ran when it saw a clean empty state. The scan bar is now always dismissed when the scan returns no games, and any stale rows from the cache are cleared at the same time.

Improvements

FTP connection handling
The internal FTP lock used a busy-wait loop that polled every 10ms while waiting for a connection slot. It now uses a proper queue — no CPU spin, and concurrent callers are woken immediately when a slot becomes free.

Dead connections in the FTP pool are now detected correctly before being handed to a caller. Previously the liveness check was a no-op (property access that never throws), so closed sockets could be returned and fail silently on first use.

API — all-drives scan
Triggering a scan via the Developer API with "source": "all-drives" previously only scanned the C: drive. It now scans every connected drive, the same as the UI button does.

API — browser clients no longer blocked by CORS
The API's CORS preflight was missing X-API-Key from the allowed headers list, which caused browser-based API clients to be rejected before the request was even sent. The allowed headers now include it.

Game title sanitization
Backslash characters in game titles were not being stripped when building folder names, which could cause unexpected path behaviour on some transfers. Fixed.

[2.4.0] — 2026

New Features

Copy (fast)
New transfer action that skips SHA-256 hash verification entirely. Ideal for same-drive transfers where re-reading every byte is unnecessary and speed matters more than checksum confirmation.

File-level Resume
Interrupted transfers now skip files already fully present at the destination (matching size). Only missing or partial files are re-copied, so a crashed mid-transfer can be restarted without re-sending everything.

Free-Space Pre-check
Before starting any local copy, PS5 Vault verifies the destination has sufficient free space (with a 512 MB safety buffer). An error is shown immediately if there is not enough room — no more discovering halfway through a transfer that the drive is full.

Show-All Dropdown
All recent paths and FTP configs appear instantly when clicking any path input field — no typing required. Items are filtered by substring as you type. Full keyboard navigation: Arrow keys move the selection, Enter commits, Escape dismisses, Tab moves focus. The dropdown is positioned relative to document.body so it is never clipped inside a scroll container.

Porkfolio Layout
New destination layout that produces {dest}/{Game Name} ({version}) {PPSAID}/ — the folder naming format expected by the Porkfolio backporting workflow.

Improvements

Dropdown items now use text-overflow: ellipsis and white-space: nowrap so very long paths do not break the dropdown layout
maxWidth is capped to the associated input element's width to prevent dropdowns from overflowing the viewport on narrow windows
selectItem commits the selected value immediately without a blur() timeout — focus remains with the input and the value is available instantly
positionDropdown sets both width and maxWidth from getBoundingClientRect so the dropdown always matches the input precisely

Bug Fixes

Fixed dropdown appearing wider than its associated input on narrow windows
Fixed getFocusedItem helper being declared but never called — dead code removed
Fixed transfer progress stuck at 0% in some local-to-local copy scenarios when totalSize was 0 at transfer start; now falls back to a parallel stat walk with a go-counting progress event
Fixed addRecentFtp being called with a raw URL string instead of a config object in some code paths

[2.3.0] — 2026

New Features

Library Diff / Compare
Compare two game libraries side-by-side. Pick any second source — a local path, USB drive, or FTP target — and PS5 Vault shows which games exist only in source A, only in source B, or in both. A one-click "Transfer Missing →" button pre-selects all games absent from B and readies them for transfer without any manual picking.

Verify Library
Scan your entire library (or a selection) for integrity issues. Each game is checked for folder accessibility, a valid param.json, and a cover icon. Results are sorted with errors first and colour-coded: ✓ OK, ⚠ Warning, ✗ Error, with a badge summary at the top.

PS5 Auto-Detect
Click 🔍 Find PS5 inside the FTP modal to scan your local network automatically. PS5 Vault probes all live hosts on your subnet across the three common FTP ports used by etaHEN and compatible payloads. The first result auto-fills the host and port fields — no manual IP hunting required.

FTP Storage Info
Click 💾 Storage inside the FTP modal (connection details filled in) to query all known PS5 mount points — internal storage, extended storage, and USB drives — and display available / total space with a usage bar per mount.

Card / Grid View
Toggle between the classic table view and a cover-art grid with ⊞ Grid. Each card shows the game's icon, title, and size. Selection, batch operations, and all transfer features work identically in both views. The active view persists across sessions.

Speed Sparkline
A live polyline graph appears in the transfer progress panel, plotting the last ~60 speed samples as a rolling window. Gives an at-a-glance view of transfer consistency and throttling without having to watch the numbers.

Selective Sub-folder Transfer
Expand any game row before transferring to choose exactly which sub-folders get copied. Useful for transferring just updates or DLC without re-sending the base game data.

Soft Delete / Trash Bin
The delete action now moves items to a _ps5vault_trash folder inside the source directory instead of permanently removing files. Trash entries older than 30 days are auto-purged. Items can be recovered manually from the trash folder at any time.

Persistent Column Widths
Drag any column header divider to resize. Widths are saved to local storage and restored on next launch.

Per-game Transfer History
Transfer history now records which game was involved in each operation (by title ID). View per-game history to see exactly when and where a title was last transferred.

FTP Connection Profiles
Save named FTP connection configurations (host, port, path, credentials, passive mode, buffer size, parallelism, speed limit) and switch between them from a dropdown in the FTP modal.

Checksum Database
A persistent checksum store (saved to userData/checksum-db.json) records file hashes after each transfer. On subsequent transfers, files whose checksums already match the destination are skipped, reducing redundant data movement. Records expire after 90 days.

Improvements

FTP Transfer Reliability
Retry count increased from 3 to 5 for both downloads and uploads. Both directions now detect mid-transfer disconnects (ECONNRESET, FIN, connection closed) and automatically re-establish the FTP session before retrying, rather than failing the entire operation.

API Modal Layout
Fixed the API modal overflowing the viewport on smaller screens. The modal body now scrolls independently within a constrained height, and action buttons remain anchored at the bottom.

Bug Fixes

Fixed FTP transfers failing silently on connection drop mid-file
Fixed delete button permanently removing files with no recovery path
Fixed transfer progress panel overflowing on narrow windows

[2.0.0] — 2025

Performance — FTP Size Calculation

The FTP sizing system was rewritten from the ground up. Repeat scans of a cached library are now near-instant, and first-time scans of large libraries are significantly faster.

Two-phase sizing pipeline
Cached and uncached games no longer compete for the same concurrency slot. Phase 1 validates all cached games at up to 12 concurrent connections (one LIST per game). Phase 2 walks only the cache misses, with 4 workers per game instead of 2. Cache hits begin streaming to the UI immediately without waiting for Phase 1 to complete.

FTP connection pool
Cache validation previously opened a fresh TCP connection per game, waited for the handshake, did one LIST, then closed it — repeated for every game in the library. A shared FtpConnectionPool now maintains up to 12 persistent connections that are borrowed and returned between games. On WiFi (≈20ms RTT) this saves roughly 800ms for a 50-game library.

Event-based worker wake-up
Worker coroutines previously polled every 5ms when the queue was temporarily empty while another worker was mid-LIST. Workers now park on a Promise that is resolved the instant a new directory is pushed to the queue, eliminating the polling delay entirely.

Size-only manifest mode
When calculating sizes during a scan, buildFtpManifest now accepts a sizeOnly flag that skips building the full file-path array. Only totalSize is needed at scan time — the full manifest is only constructed when a transfer actually starts. This removes ~25,000 object allocations (and associated GC pressure) for a typical 50-game library.

Workers per game increased: 2 → 4
Each uncached game now uses 4 parallel FTP connections to walk its directory tree instead of 2. For a game with 200 directories at 5ms RTT this halves the walk time from ~500ms to ~250ms.

Bug Fixes

Duplicate get-all-drives handler — The get-all-drives IPC handler was registered twice, crashing the app on the second launch. Duplicate removed.

diskCacheDirty ghost variable — A variable that was set in multiple places but never read was fully removed. It had been left behind from a previous refactor.

rename-item missing try/catch — Filesystem errors during rename (permissions, file in use) were throwing unhandled exceptions through IPC instead of returning a structured { error } response.

rename-item path-traversal guard — If the new name contained / or \, path.join could silently escape the parent directory. Names containing path separators are now explicitly rejected, and the resolved new path must share the same parent as the old path.

ftp-delete-item and ftp-rename-item error handling — These handlers previously returned { error: "..." } objects on failure, which await resolves successfully — making the error invisible to the caller. Both now throw on failure, consistent with how local delete/rename errors are surfaced.

scanFtpSource ignored calcSize option — The IPC handler correctly forwarded opts.calcSize, but the function only destructured sender from its options object. Size calculation ran unconditionally regardless of the checkbox state. Now properly gated on calcSize.

computeSourceFolder Windows path — The regex stripping \sce_sys from source paths only matched the forward-slash variant (/sce_sys). On Windows, paths ending in \sce_sys were not stripped, causing the wrong source folder to be used in transfers.

addRecentFtp received URL string instead of config object — The function expects { host, port, path, user } to generate a deduplication key and pre-fill the FTP modal on next use. It was being called with a raw URL string, which stored garbage in the recents list and broke the remembered-FTP-configs feature.

Rename path separator on Windows — Building a new path with a hardcoded '/' separator produced mixed-separator paths (D:\games/New Name) on Windows, breaking filesystem operations. The separator is now detected from the source path.

ftpDeleteItem error silently swallowed in renderer — The renderer awaited ftpDeleteItem without checking the return value. Added a belt-and-suspenders error check so FTP delete failures surface to the user.

renameItem error silently swallowed in renderer — renameItem returns { error } on failure. The renderer never checked this, so rename failures were invisible. Error is now surfaced.

checkConflicts dropped customName parameter — The preload wrapper forwarded only 3 of 4 arguments. With a custom layout, conflict detection computed the wrong target path, missing real conflicts or flagging false ones.

[1.1.3] — 2024

Persistent disk cache for FTP folder sizes with single-LIST validation
Progressive UI streaming — table rows appear as games are found
Adaptive parallelism — worker count scales with directory density
Cross-drive move via copy-then-delete (fixes EXDEV errors)

PS5 Vault v2.4.3 Stable

DieMitchell released this 2026-10-06 05:01:49 +02:00 | 0 commits to main since this release

Changelog

Fast pass now checks sig?.aborted before writing to cache — partial results from terminated workers are discarded
Slow pass checks abort both before starting and after the worker returns
calcSingleGameSize now returns 0 immediately if aborted at any point during its execution, rather than accumulating a partial total
FAST_TIMEOUT_MS raised from 10s → 90s — large games (60 GB+) on slow USB HDDs were timing out on every scan and going to the slow pass, which was then vulnerable to the same abort-poison on the next scan
Cache entries now store the folder's mtime. On next load, if the folder was modified since caching, the entry is discarded and the game is re-sized with fresh data
Cache TTL reduced from 30 days → 7 days
If a result is <1 MB for a folder with subdirectories, it logs a warning and retries with a single full-tree worker

Find your API key and the full endpoint reference under Menu → ⚙ Developer API.

Base URL:  http://127.0.0.1:3731/api/v1
Auth:      X-API-Key: <your key>

GET  /library              — your full game list
GET  /library/:ppsa        — single game by ID
GET  /library/:ppsa/icon   — cover art (PNG)
POST /scan                 — trigger a scan
GET  /scan/status          — scan progress
POST /transfer             — trigger a transfer
GET  /transfer/status      — transfer progress
GET  /events               — live SSE stream
GET  /status               — app status

The server only listens on 127.0.0.1 — it is not reachable from other devices on your network.

All notable changes to PS5 Vault are documented here.

[2.4.0] — 2026

New Features

Copy (fast)
New transfer action that skips SHA-256 hash verification entirely. Ideal for same-drive transfers where re-reading every byte is unnecessary and speed matters more than checksum confirmation.

File-level Resume
Interrupted transfers now skip files already fully present at the destination (matching size). Only missing or partial files are re-copied, so a crashed mid-transfer can be restarted without re-sending everything.

Free-Space Pre-check
Before starting any local copy, PS5 Vault verifies the destination has sufficient free space (with a 512 MB safety buffer). An error is shown immediately if there is not enough room — no more discovering halfway through a transfer that the drive is full.

Show-All Dropdown
All recent paths and FTP configs appear instantly when clicking any path input field — no typing required. Items are filtered by substring as you type. Full keyboard navigation: Arrow keys move the selection, Enter commits, Escape dismisses, Tab moves focus. The dropdown is positioned relative to document.body so it is never clipped inside a scroll container.

Porkfolio Layout
New destination layout that produces {dest}/{Game Name} ({version}) {PPSAID}/ — the folder naming format expected by the Porkfolio backporting workflow.

Improvements

Dropdown items now use text-overflow: ellipsis and white-space: nowrap so very long paths do not break the dropdown layout
maxWidth is capped to the associated input element's width to prevent dropdowns from overflowing the viewport on narrow windows
selectItem commits the selected value immediately without a blur() timeout — focus remains with the input and the value is available instantly
positionDropdown sets both width and maxWidth from getBoundingClientRect so the dropdown always matches the input precisely

Bug Fixes

Fixed dropdown appearing wider than its associated input on narrow windows
Fixed getFocusedItem helper being declared but never called — dead code removed
Fixed transfer progress stuck at 0% in some local-to-local copy scenarios when totalSize was 0 at transfer start; now falls back to a parallel stat walk with a go-counting progress event
Fixed addRecentFtp being called with a raw URL string instead of a config object in some code paths
