NOMM version 0.14.0 - Utility Utopia

3 hours ago

I won't be adding the new flatpak to this release right away to make sure no one downloads it before the new configurations are published (which will be done simultaneously with the Flathub release).

Changes!

Sourcing Utilities

Utilities can now be sourced not only from direct download links but also from:

  • Flatpaks (available via local flatpak managers - generally via flathub)
  • Nexus downloads (when they come with nexus integration)
  • Github latest release

Launching Utilities

  • Linux utilites will be launched as is
  • Windows utilities can now make use of NOMM's Wine bundle
  • Utilities that support browser protocol can be launched through it as well
  • Flatpak utilities can now be launched directly from NOMM (provided you accept to give NOMM some powerful permissions)

Wine support 😲

  • Windows utilities can now be launched through Wine
  • Wine is now installed at runtime by NOMM when trying to launch a windows app
  • NOMM manages its own prefixes
  • NOMM generates commands for winetricks so that it's super easy to set up for the user
  • Wine installation can be updated/removed from the NOMM settings
  • Wine prefixes can be removed with an easy to use button that will remove unused prefixes after a month of inactivity
  • It is possible to define verbs for each utility so that the user doesn't have to guess what's needed

Launch options

  • ...are now much simpler to set up
  • They are simply copied and pasted into the game properties window
  • NOMM now proposes an easy button that directly opens the game's Steam properties window

New utility features

  • Added a donation link to utilities to be able to directly access a donation page from NOMM
  • Added a way to set two utilities as incompatible with each other so that users will be blocked from installing both at once

Builder updates

  • The builder now builds in the new format
  • whitelisting/blacklisting support for utility files was readded and cleaned up
  • Simplified utility format by removing the useless dictionary entry
  • Can now filter out games that are already configured when adding support for a game

UI

  • Completely overhauled utility tab UI to be much cleaner
  • Added buttons for the new actions with tooltips and descriptive windows and text to help users through the process
  • UI is now correctly refreshed on the utility tab when an action is taken by the user
  • The back button is now much clearer, especially on white backgrounds

Wiki integration

  • Added wiki page for Switch games
  • Added a wiki page for games with no wiki pages (the icon will be different)

Onboarding

  • Permissions check was reviewed so that users no longer get the warning window after having provided access to their libraries, even if the library no longer exists.

... and more? probably?
