Support AppDir as an AppImage type #136

Open azubieta opened 5 years ago

azubieta commented 5 years ago

Allow AppDirs to be treated as AppImages in what respect to desktop integration and introspection. This would be great to improve unit-testing and could potentially open a new way of having AppImages on the system.

@probonopd @TheAssassin any thoughts ?

probonopd commented 5 years ago

Great idea, although I would hope that file managers gain native support for AppDirs. Like ROX-Filer has had for ages.

TheAssassin commented 5 years ago

Not a fan of it. Just makes things complicated IMO.

Also be careful about your naming. AppDirs are AppDirs, not an AppImage type. The terms should never be mixed up, that just confuses everybody.

probonopd commented 5 years ago

An AppDir is what is contained inside an AppImage. It has existed long before AppImage.
