Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. Having to download the AppImage file every time a new version is released is not very convenient, and AppImages are self-contained, so libraries aren't shared between apps, therefore taking up more storage space.

Describe the solution you'd like Making a Flatpak version of imFIle and publishing it on Flathub would solve both issues while still having it available on basically all distros, so I believe it wouldn't be much more of a headache to support it.

Describe alternatives you've considered Distributing RPM/DEB packages would be harder to maintain and support fewer distros, and you can work around the access to files in the Flatpak version, so it isn't necessary.
