Bug ID: 431201
Summary: Auto-update of appimage: it should mark the new
appimage as executable
Product: krita
Version: git master
Platform: Mint (Ubuntu based)
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: wishlist
Priority: NOR
Component: General
Assignee: krita-bugs-n...@kde.org
Reporter: tamtamy.tym...@gmail.com
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
I run an older master appimage recently and I got the "an update is available!"
button, so I clicked it out of curiosity, and it actually worked (although I
had to install gpg2 to make it work: should I report it separately? It did tell
me to install it so there was no issue, but...).
However, I couldn't just go and open the next appimage, since it wasn't marked
as executable. I know this is normal for appimages or any files downloaded from
the internet, but since I was updating a file that was marked executable and I
executed it, maybe it would be possible to make it easier for users and mark
the new one as executable automatically?
If it's important to not do stuff like that without user's permission, what
about a checkbox? It's still easier to check one than (1) right-click, go to
Properties, go to the correct tab, check the checkbox, click OK; (2)
right-click, use "Open in Terminal", write `chmod +x krita...`, make sure you
mark the correct appimage, then start it (also making sure you use the correct
appimage - with a lot of appimages, Tab doesn't help much).
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Make sure you don't have the latest appimage from the binary factory in the
folder and that you have gpg2 installed.
2. Run Krita appimage.
3. Click "Update now" on the Welcome Screen.
4. Close Krita, try to start the new appimage.
OBSERVED RESULT
It doesn't start because it isn't marked as executable.
EXPECTED RESULT
It starts with no issues.
