The AppImage now builds on Ubuntu 14.04 (see issue #96), so it should be possible to get the next release included.

Can the latest AppImage be downloaded somewhere? I'd like to re-run the test. Thanks.

stfnp commented 4 years ago

The latest version doesn't have an AppImage anymore unfortunately. I split the application into three independent executables that invoke each other and also can be used independently on their own. But I couldn't figure out how to achieve that with an AppImage (without sacrificing some of its advantages or having a different user experience than the other packages/platforms). So I decided to drop it for now, even though I really like the format and its simplicity.

Would it be possible to make three AppImages?

stfnp commented 4 years ago

That would be possible, but then each of those AppImages would have to "know" about the others, because the three components also invoke each other. So the AppImages couldn't be just placed anywhere and executed, they would have to be "installed" somehow. That's what I meant with sacrificing the advantages of the format.

I see... maybe doing what ImageMagick is doing would be feasible? They have one AppImage but you can symlink to it under the names of the individual binaries:
