Hexlog v0.4.1

What's Changed

Hexlog 0.4.1 is a polish-and-consistency release, mostly around the virtual tabletop and list interactions.

Virtual tabletop (VTT)

• The map canvas now follows the active theme — switching to the light theme no longer leaves the VTT stuck on a black canvas
• Tokens show a dashed selection ring when selected, and the resize handle now appears on hover as well as selection, making resize easy to find
• The resize handle is bigger and fully clickable (the outer half used to be clipped off and unreachable), with clearer cursor feedback on the corner
• Right-click now actually cancels a pending token placement — the status bar previously said it would, but it didn't
• No-op clicks on the map no longer trigger redundant autosaves

Consistency between tabs

• Right-click Delete now targets the row you right-clicked, not whichever row happened to be selected before — on characters, NPCs, locations, monsters, and journal notes
• Scenes gained the same right-click context menu (New / Rename / Delete) and Delete-key shortcut that the other lists already had
• Filter boxes now show "No matches for the current filter" instead of a misleading "No Xs yet" empty-state hint

Bug fixes

• Rebuilding the VTT token menu no longer assumes every character record has a name field

Install

Download hexlog-0.4.1-x86_64.AppImage, then run:

chmod +x hexlog-0.4.1-x86_64.AppImage
./hexlog-0.4.1-x86_64.AppImage

No Python or PySide6 install required — everything is bundled. Your data lives in ~/.config/hexlog/prod/.

Hexlog v0.4.0

What's Changed

Hexlog 0.4.0 is a data-layout and VTT workbench release.

Data storage overhaul

• Data now lives in ~/.config/hexlog/ (the XDG standard location), split into dev (local development) and prod (packaged AppImage) so the two never share data
• Respects $XDG_CONFIG_HOME when set
• Existing data from older releases (~/.hexlog/) is moved in automatically on first launch — nothing is lost
• The About dialog and status bar show the active data directory

Virtual tabletop (VTT)

• Resize tokens: select a character or NPC token and drag the white corner handle to resize it (12–256 px). The token stays centered and the size is saved with the scene
• Images now fill the token: token images are zoomed to cover-crop the shape instead of being letterboxed — no more white space
• Scenes show a "No scenes yet" hint like the other tabs

UI polish

• Entity detail forms: the description field grows with the window instead of leaving dead space
• Descriptions and journal text now keep intentional leading/trailing blank lines
• New Help menu with an About Hexlog dialog including a clickable link to the GitHub repository

Tests

• Suite grew from 21 to 36 tests: environment/path selection (dev vs prod), legacy-data migration, XDG override, token-resize math, and more
