In that case, what does the .desktop > file built-in to the AppImage do? Nothing. That's how AppImage works, by design. If you want desktop integration for an AppImage app, you need to create a .desktop file outside of the AppImage. AppImageLauncher is a tool to provide such integration. Or you can use those apps from distro packages, Flatpak, or Snap; those all include this kind of desktop integration automatically. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
