It's not that it's hardcoded, that's just where the files are when I compile and it appears it keep the locations internally, so when it crashes it gives the location of the .go files on my computer. If you were to put a PortableApps folder in your home directory the command should work.

Why doesn't it just create one then? :-)

Now it launches a black window with nothing visible in it.

CalebQ42 commented 8 years ago

I was going to add back in where it would automatically create the PortableApps folder, but got sidetracked. If you're getting a black window then it probably isn't detecting any apps in the PortableApps folder

probonopd commented 8 years ago

The window stays black if I add an AppImage in the folder.

CalebQ42 commented 8 years ago

Is the AppImage in a folder in the folder? (Later on I'll add where you can just put the AppImage in the PortableApps folder. It's in a folder so the app can find the appicon.png and appinfo.ini if they are present)

Ah, with a folder in a folder it shows the name of the folder in the menu. Shouldn't it use the information from the .desktop file inside the AppImage instead, for determining the name and icon?

I can add that later
