How linuxdeployqt decides the name of the AppImage package? #607

Hi,

Thanks for your tool!

I am wondering how linuxdeployqt will determine the name of the output AppImage? From the desktop file? Any command line option to change this?

Hi @tamlok.

From the desktop file?

From the Name= entry in the desktop file specifically, with blanks (`) replaced by underscores (_`), and the architecture and file extension added.

Any command line option to change this?

No, as we would like the file name to be consistent with the application name. If you would change the application name, then edit the Name= entry in the desktop file.
