Current version:

% flatpak list:
AppImage Pool   io.github.prateekmedia.appimagepool 4.9.0   stable  system

About the App dialog displays V 4.9.9. Some apps don't use the extension .AppImage, but they would rather user .appImage, .Appimage, .appimage or any other upper/lowercase combination. No idea if this is canonical but it's what is happening. Examples with avidemux:

Other software like appimagelauncherd use case insensitive so read whatever.

I don't think so, if the app is not available in github then we don't have a way to get it.

Probably you are misunderstanding what I mean. Download this file: https://github.com/mean00/avidemux2/releases/download/2.8.0/avidemux_2.8.0.appImage and place it inside $HOME/Applications. It will not be detected by appimagepool.

wesskywalker commented 2 years ago

Use this:

wget https://github.com/mean00/avidemux2/releases/download/2.8.0/avidemux_2.8.0.appImage -O $HOME/Applications/avidemux_2.8.0.appImage

Make it executable using chmod +x whatever

I will try this appimage once I am on my PC

I don't think it's related to exec permission.

This still happens in v5.1.0. I was looking for a simple app to integrate downloaded AppImage files with the DE and found this issue. Readme says AppImagePool can manage integration but there is no option to open/import the files, the user must first copy the file to default download path, that curiously is ~/Applications instead of ~/Download.

Anyway it seems that it only detects files that end in .AppImage, ignoring anything else with the same extension but diffrence case. It is not related to file permssions.

You can Infact change directory of AppImages but no systemwide auto appimage detect is possible for now.

Thank you for your quick reply. The default directory is not a big deal in my opinio (I will open a new issue about adding a feature so the user can open AppImage files from anywhere, what I think will improve the user experience).

What I think is more important is to fix the auto-detection of files with any extension, what seems to be broken as of now, at least in the latest release version:
