Hi, can you please explain the problem a little more?

Also, can you point out the app that is causing problems?

Thank you

I had installed qbittorrent torrents files auto opened with it when we double click them. Then installed the update the new qbittorrent appimage has a different name so the links no longer work. You should use gearlever_qbittorrent.appimage instead of adding new extra characters when we update an app breaks continuity

Right, now I see it. Basically if you set an appimage as the default for a specific file extension, the setting is lost if the filename changes.

The extra characters are needed in order to avoid any possible conflict, but this issue can be worked around

This commit should fix the issue. While I still want to do some testing before publishing a release, you can already install this development version and give feedbacks.
