Bug ID: 463169
Summary: Better Appimage integration, auto-creation of menu
entries
Classification: Applications
Product: Discover
Version: 5.26.3
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Keywords: usability
Severity: wishlist
Priority: NOR
Component: discover
Assignee: plasma-b...@kde.org
Reporter: amanita+kdeb...@mailbox.org
CC: aleix...@kde.org
Target Milestone: ---
Better Appimage integration would be really good. Appimages are always worse
than Flatpaks of course, but sometimes the only option.
An integration could look like that:
- in Discover you have an "install appimage" button
- pressing:
- The appimage is made exetueable
- A menuentry is created with the directory of the .appimage
- and name of the app (has to be extracted but is also shown when running
the app)
- The menuentry needs to get the icon of the appimage, which is also
shown when running it (but dont know where to find it)
So making executeable and directing to the path is easy, but extracting icon
and name is not so easy maybe. Would make a really great appimage integration
though. Maybe the VanillaLinux devs are doing something like that too.
