This is great, didn't know about it. Makes sense to store the config along with the AppImage itself. More here: https://askubuntu.com/questions/1009888 ... n-launches

But what must be done when the path is not /home/guest/.config/NAME but /home/guest/.NAME/ ?
Added in 3 minutes 28 seconds:
Edit
I think the above posted link ( https://askubuntu.com/questions/1009888 ... n-launches ) explains it:
I presume a program that uses /home/guest/.NAME/ as its home folder only uses $HOME - e.g. $HOME/.NAME and not $XDG_CONFIG_HOME ... but I could be wrong.The AppImage will then think that ../some/path/to/my.AppImage.home/ is $HOME.
The AppImage will also think that ../some/path/to/my.AppImage.config/ is $XDG_CONFIG_HOME.
(BTW, $XDG_CONFIG_HOME very frequently defaults to $HOME/.config.)
Cheers!

LosslessCut newest release for x86-64 Linux is 3.46.2 (the technical newest V3.46.3 is for Mac App Store only "(had to remove Exit button from menu due to Apple guidelines 🥴)")
I do the following:
I found no md5sum info on https://github.com/mifi/lossless-cut/releases nor on https://github.com/mifi/lossless-cut/tree/v3.46.2 …
When you click on the sunflowers you open a new tab in your browser and it directs you to

I do the following:
Code: Select all

AppImages are stand-alone programs, and every user will put them on a different path in their system. Therefore adding a .desktop would hardly work.
Mine e.g. are in /mnt/sda5/bin/
Code: Select all
root@porteus:/mnt/sda5/bin# ls -o --time-style=long-iso *[aA]pp[Im]mage|cut -c 20-

Sorry don't have one, I so rarely use any of these AppImages, I always go into the folder and execute them directly.
But you can use another .desktop as template.
here is the edited mpv one, I removed some parts I presume that are not applicable:
Code: Select all

Code: Select all
X-KDE-Protocols=ftp,http,https,mms,rtmp,rtsp,sftp,smb,srt
Not sure if everything listed as MimeType works for LosslessCut as well, but one can try creating the .desktop and check it out.
Added in 2 minutes 5 seconds:
Also not sure it it should be
Code: Select all
Icon=LosslessCut.svg
Code: Select all
Icon=LosslessCut

Hi. Did you know that I included some tips and tricks at the end of the first post explaining that?
Certainly, not Mimetypes section included, but you get some ideas.
These are a couple of them more:
Icons --> You can get them from here
I.e.: You can get the LosslessCut 128px png icon by rightclicking and saving image from here
.desktop file --> Say you need to pass arguments to start your AppImage in a certain way, then the "Exec=" line can be invoked like this:
Code: Select all
[Desktop Entry]
Name=Ungoogled Chromium
Categories=Network
Comment=Ungoogled Chromium Web Browser
Exec=sh -c '/path/to/your/AppImages/ungoogled*.AppImage --incognito chrome://dino'
Icon=ungoogled-chromium
Type=Application
MimeType=application/x-iso9660-appimage;
Can be without suffix as long as the icon can be found in the standard icons path. That is:
/usr/share/icons or ~/.local/share/icons
/usr/share/pixmaps or ~/.local/share/pixmaps
*** Edit:
From my notes, the MimeType line for a .desktop file to an AppImage, should be:
Code: Select all
MimeType=application/x-iso9660-appimage;
/usr/share/applications or
~/.local/share/applications
Then you update the desktop database like this:
Code: Select all
$ desktop-file-install --dir=$HOME/.local/share/applications my_new_appimage-1.0.desktop
$ update-desktop-database ~/.local/share/applications

Sounds like a headache… and less helpful to me.
Unless you can tweak what it should do.

M. Eerie, Rava, thank you. Here's my minimalist .desktop:
--will add MimeTypes later I guess, for now it appears in the Start menu.
Code: Select all
[Desktop Entry]
Type=Application
Name=LosslessCut
GenericName=Video editor
Icon=/path/LosslessCut.svg
Exec=/path/LosslessCut.AppImage --no-sandbox %U
Categories=AudioVideo
Agree. But I do need a shortcut anyway in this case because I need to run it always with --no-sandbox under root
Howto: Popular AppImages one click away
Another trick in the wall
Code: Select all
#!/bin/sh
exec "$@" --no-sandbox

Hmm, why though?
I run it as guest and never had issues with it. Is it because you need to edit videos in folders only writeable for root?

There's a new version of Audacity available, v3.2 which claims to have VST3 plug-in support, pretty heady I say. Will have to test it although I don't like that format LOL, I prefer the older VST2 and 32-bit for my music creation. That's what works best with Wine anyway.
