Changelog: Katana

Version 3.0

2026-08-26

Highlights

Three menu types — GDmenu, openMenu, and openMenu Extended (ateam). Folder and Type columns (and Assign Folder) only appear for Extended; cards already on ateam stay on Extended
openMenu Extended — bundled 1.6.3-ateam Virtual Folder Bundle (Folders themes, cheats, Bleemcast/Bloom). Virtual folders and disc types survive bake via folder.txt / type.txt and OPENMENU.INI
Arrange list — drag selected rows, or Move Up/Down / Top / Bottom, in the current table sort; Apply renumbers folders once. Newest First stays newest-first. The menu stays in slot 01
Assign Folder — inspector Folder combo with autocomplete; right-click Assign Folder on a multi-select
Disc, region, and serial overrides — editable inspector fields (and a Disc column) so Compact grouping and PAL/region flags survive rebuild
Move Up / Down follow the list — ⌘↑ / ⌘↓ move the row you see; reorders stay in Arrange until Apply
Safer card writes — Move Up/Down no longer empties the card; add fills the lowest free slot; openMenu cover art survives rebuild; warm rebuilds skip re-reading cached headers; ⌘S after editing a field no longer steals Rebuild Menu

Highlights

Multi-file import — GDI/CCD track sets and ZIP packages; shows chunked edge progress with segment notches
Delete Immediately — ⌥⌫ / Option-alternate menu item for permanent on-card erase (soft-delete remains default)
Session write access — security-scoped root held for the whole open card; Grant Access… recovery; sandbox /Volumes exception
Menu rebuild — IP.BIN headers cached for faster rebuilds; fingerprint dirty tracking (add→delete clears the prompt); snappier quit-time rebuild
Auto-rename on add (on by default) — GameDB names from IP.BIN serial; build-tag filenames (beltrunner-shipplay-f64-dc) keep source names; hold ⌥ while adding or dropping to force source names; collisions with the card or the same batch also keep source names
Check for Updates — Help → Check for Updates… and a quiet launch check via GitHub Releases; banner when a newer version is out
Redump GDI — quoted track names for IP.BIN serials and covers
Stability — 100+ card renumber/corruption fixes; CDI IP.BIN location via track table (less freeze risk on large images)
Duplicate Tools — now disabled by default; heuristics have been improved so, for example, sequels aren't marked as dupes
UI polish — shared chunked progress bar (scan / rebuild / import / delete), Disc→Card wording, trash size never shows 0 GB when non-empty
