MakeROMFS-GUI - A new way to build ROMFS files for HANS

MKGirlism You probably already know MakeROMFS, the command line tool that can build ROMFS files for use with HANS within seconds.
However, I do admit that command line is really handy when it comes to scripting, but it's far from accessible to all users.

Therefore, I decided to wrap a GUI around it, but I soon realised it became useless for scripting.
Then I thought, why not both?
And I did both!

MakeROMFS-GUI can be used as both, a GUI tool, and CLI tool, so you can still write scripts for it, and at the same time, it can be used without the need to remember on how to use it; the best of 2 worlds!

Beware: The Command Mode is only available in the Linux version!

Here are some screenshots, accompanied with a video:

Swiftie Luma Cool.

But , if this faster than Romfs Builder?

If not , see no reason for it to be that useful , at least not for me since im not on Linux.

MKGirlism I'd say, take a look at the video.
I did not speed up the video (you can even use the time at the bottom-right corner as your evidence, it even includes seconds).
You should see it takes around 10 seconds to fully build the ROMFS file, from pressing the "Begin" button, to the dialogue that confirms it done.
(For the CLI part, you can it's from pressing Enter, to the "完了�?��?��?" part, it should take equally long.)

SGC Yellow I think this tool is great, I've been using the GUI version, and it's indeed faster than the tool everybody's been using.

MKGirlism That's strange, I didn't even release the GUI version yet...
Don't you mean the CLI version?

SGC Yellow Yes, I do mean the command line version.
I said that, since they're the same, the other just has a GUI.

MKGirlism Okay everybody, I've just released the binary to the public, source code is still private!

MKGirlism Updated MakeROMFS-GUI, to include an installer, and a way to access it from the Applications Menu.

MKGirlism For those of you on Windows, there's no longer a need to run this through the Linux Subsystem, because there's a native Windows version now!
As for the Linux version, I've added an application icon for the Application Menu (thanks SGC).

A version for macOS will be in the builds soon, I think.
