Google Earth AppImage
Calibre Not available from source page yet
Bookworm Not available from source page yet
In order to get them at hand, add the relevant .desktop to each AppImage in:

Example:
Code: Select all
[Desktop Entry]
Name=Inkscape-AppImage
Categories=Graphics
Comment=Inkscape working artifact
Exec=/mnt/sdb1/porteus/AppImages/Inkscape-1.0a-56cc79a-x86_64.AppImage
Icon=Inkscape-AppImage
Type=Application
I.e. if you use XFCE, you can drag from menu to panel and a shortcut will be created at ~/.config/xfce4/panel/launcher-NN folder.
The drawback is, you need more space in your storage because AppImages are generally bloated hosting all needed dependencies to ensure they will work.
One trick is to name the icon with the -Appimage.png suffix, and put it on /usr/share/pixmaps to ensure your custom icon won't be overwritten by any icon installed package. For example: /usr/share/pixmaps/Inkscape-AppImage.png.
**Be carefull the "Exec" line in the ".desktop" file points to the actual location of the AppImage according to your setup. In this case, they are located at /mnt/sdb1.
Should be easy to script a "sed" oneliner to set the right partition at boot time (pointing to $PORTDIR/AppImages maybe). Anyone for the task?
Already done

Remember to make your AppImage executable:

Salut!
