stop looking in /Applications or stop spamming syslog

Pre-submit checks

[X] I checked for similar issues beforehand, but could not find any, not even closed ones. I could not add my bug report to any existing issue.
[X] I am going to take the time to to fill in all the required details. I know that the bug report will be dismissed otherwise.

Describe the bug

I keep getting journal system log messages like this every 30 seconds:

appimagelauncher-lite.AppImage[1234]: Directory /Applications does not exist, skipping

Harmless but annoying clutter when looking at my logs.

Expected behavior

I don't have or want to have a root folder named /Applications . Dont spam the log.

Steps to reproduce the issue

Install appimagelauncher-lite latest build as of yesterday. Look at the system log systemd-journal. You will see messages every 30 seconds.

I'll make the message a debug one to reduce the amount of logging to a minimum.

I found a few issues with how the directories are stored in the code, too, which I'll fix ASAP, too.

In fact, this is already the case: https://github.com/TheAssassin/AppImageLauncher/commit/5515c5274235f21b6ef81f25e64e12d5dddd0320

Debug logging should not be enabled in release builds...

I'm also seeing this. Where is it possible to get an updated build? The daily build in launchpad doesn't seem up to date for 23.04?

TheAssassin commented 11 months ago

I don't actively maintain those builds. Please try the latest continuous build. (You may have to uninstall the package and PPA first.)

That link takes me to a build from over a year ago, September 8th 2022. How is that a continuous build? It is actually the same build I already had installed, and still see the Sep 18 09:47:09 ziggy appimagelauncherd[5759]: Directory /Applications does not exist, skipping log message spam.

Is there some more recent build which disables this logging?

lingfish commented 1 month ago

Agree... perhaps your continuous build process is broken?
