Here is the version of 'not perfect but anyway' [tinfoil I use ](https://cloud.mail.ru/public/DwbX/H8d2p3aYR ).
Ok, I'm almost sure that this version has bugs. I don't remember where I downloaded it. But it works for me somehow..
Let's rephrase, if you have working version of TinFoil DO NOT use this one.

## Tips&tricks
2019-02-11 04:26:51 +03:00
### Add user to udev rules to use NS non-root (Linux):
2019-02-10 17:40:29 +03:00
`root # vim /etc/udev/rules.d/99-NS.rules`
2019-02-11 05:16:07 +03:00
2019-02-10 17:40:29 +03:00
`SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTRS{idVendor}=="057e", ATTRS{idProduct}=="3000", GROUP="plugdev"`
2019-02-11 05:16:07 +03:00
2019-02-10 17:40:29 +03:00
`root # udevadm control --reload-rules && udevadm trigger`
2019-02-10 04:59:54 +03:00
## Known bugs
* Unable to interrupt transmission when libusb awaiting for read event (when user sent NSP list but didn't selected anything on NS).
2019-02-17 18:38:07 +03:00
## NOTES
Table 'Status' = 'Uploaded' does not means that file installed. It means that it has been sent to NS without any issues! That's what this app about.
Handling successful/failed installation is a purpose of the other side application (TinFoil/GoldLeaf). (And they don't provide any feedback interfaces so I can't detect success/failure.)
