Logo absent in Linux package for Linux

[myselfhimself]

Hello,

in order to have a nice install of the binary release (0.2.0) for Linux, I downloaded the file listed here https://github.com/rbreu/beeref/releases/tag/v0.2.0 //// BeeRef-0.2.0-linux . Added +x permission to it.

Then downloaded the .desktop file.. and the logo.svg file Edited the .desktop file and edited the paths to logo.svg and the executable.

Worked good..

But those three files could be in a directory, itself compressed into, .tar.gz file or so for Linux users.. With a setup.sh script that makes a properly filled .desktop file and stores it in the relevant home apps folder for Linux... (according to xdesktop standards or so..). No need to install perfectly for all distributions for now... Another idea, instead of the setup.sh script, the Python executable could deal with that setup actions, silently or with a dialog ("Do you agree to add Beeref to your application shortcuts?") to be run on the first start.

Just an idea :)

Or even better, it can be packaged as a flatpak and distributed in flathub.org

I wrote small script to install for myself. Maybe it help for you at first time.

Copy BeeRef-0.2.0-linux to /opt/BeeRef/ and rename to BeeRef. Unpack Source code (tar.gz) to /opt/BeeRef/beeref/. It show app for all users and use icon with all *.bee files.

EDIT: I have Ubuntu 20.04, ImageMagick.
