I was getting tired of the mtp throwing errors half the time, the directories loading two minutes (not exagerating), the copying taking taking hour, so i said screw it and made my own file transferer that uses ADB, which doesnt rely on the slow as MTP. I made it primarily for myself, but since i already made it why not share it :D
From my testing (over USB 2.0) of copying 8.4GB pictures folder, with my app it took 4m08s, approx 286Mbits/s. With MTP, it was showing it will take hour and 3/4, aprox 10Mbits/s

    I do not know any C but I’ll definitely try and fail compiling this for macOS because my Switch only connects to Android File Transfer and not to OpenMTP.

    Edit: oh no, the Switch doesn’t even support ADB because it’s running its own thing.

    Edit 2: btw why is it that some very specific modding tools are NEVER compiled for everything else but Windows? Of course I can always fire up a VM, but to me Windows is on the same level on my shit list as u/spez.
