Bug ID: 423374
Summary: When the appImage has a self updating scheme, the
application launcher meets an error.
Product: plasmashell
Version: 5.18.5
Platform: Appimage
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Keywords: usability
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: Application Launcher (Kickoff)
Assignee: k...@davidedmundson.co.uk
Reporter: math...@valat.eu
CC: plasma-b...@kde.org
Target Milestone: 1.0
SUMMARY
When an appImage updates itself, the application launcher loses the link to the
original integrated application, breaking the ability to launch it from menu.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Install an appImage that updates itself (like LBRY) with one version older.
2. Get the notification within the app there is a new version, click the
update.
3. Close the application and try to reopen it from Application launcher
OBSERVED RESULT
Plasma sends a error message:
Could not find the program '/home/mathieu/Applications/LBRY_0.45.2.AppImage'
EXPECTED RESULT
There are so many ways to can be fixed that it depends on how coding
phylosophy. But I would request the user to point to the newer program. It is
simple efficient and a quick fix for that very problem that will occur over and
over as appImage are getting used.
