Linux Visual Novel Manager: version 0.6.1 released

LVNM (Linux VN Manager) has been released in version v0.6.1.

LVNM is a tool for managing and launching visual novels on Linux with enhanced compatibility features.

This version brings a DPI option for Wine tools on monitors above 1080p, sorting and filtering for prefix and runner tabs, and improvements to PC-98 emulation. Time tracking can now also be overridden per game.

Display and Wine

  • New setting to temporarily raise DPI when running Wine tools like regedit or winecfg on monitors above 1080p
  • Fixed monitor detection under Flatpak, mainly for KDE (other desktop environments need testing)

Launching and runtime

  • Small popup when umu downloads the Steam runtime after a game launches
  • Gamescope is disabled automatically if it is no longer installed
  • Emulators get native config paths, whether LVNM runs as Flatpak or not

Interface and usability

  • Prefix and runner tabs gained sorting, filtering and right-click context menus
  • Statistics tab has a new section for editing log files inside the app
  • Some settings moved into sub-tabs to reduce clutter
  • Sidebar prefix dropdown no longer changes when scrolling the sidebar, autosave option added
  • Environment variable dialog supports drag-to-reorder, a search filter and auto-scrolls to new entries

Localization

  • Japanese translation configuration added, translation itself still pending

PC-98 emulation

  • RetroArch SDL enabled in the Flatpak config for controller support, virtual keyboard available
  • All configuration is saved to a profiles folder for tracking
  • Improved multi-disk naming detection

Advanced settings

  • Image section moved into its own dialog
  • Advanced settings and image dialog accessible from the sidebar or a game’s right-click menu
  • Time tracking can now be overridden per game
