Nothing from my side is changing the AppImage size, so I don't know why is it looping like this.

[vadi2]

A few tries later, it only happened once and I got a result:

That's really strange, I never saw a "changed size while reading filesystem" message ever. Could it be that something is writing to the directory you are using as the source for the AppImage?

E.g., could it be that the AppImage is written into the directory you are making the AppImage from? Or could you have other open/background processes that are writing to the directory?

[vadi2]

I think deleting the existing appimage before making a new one worked, something I should have done to begin with. It's not that intuitive though. I'll reopen if it happens again.

This also happens to me if you create AppImage in the AppDir, as @probonopd stated above. Just call linuxdeployqt from some other directory and you will have 100% success rate.

This is like if you wanted to zip a directory, and put the resulting zip into the directory that you are trying to zip... maybe we should add an error message in these cases.

[vadi2]

Would be a good idea, it could happen and pretty confusing when it does!
