To be honest, I would consider this more of a problem of the program you linked than a problem of Krita... but I'm not a dev and this is likely a trivial fix. Related issue: https://github.com/probonopd/go-appimage/issues/157 When you download the krita appimage, you have to set Execution permissions in Properties and while you're doing that it would be a simple task to also change the name capitalisation if you want to. Making desktop launchers or panel launchers or menu items is a simple task. Also, there may be people who do have AppImage tooling who don't want krita integrated in this way, e.g. people who download and use many different versions for testing purposes, sometimes on a daily basis. They would be inconvenienced by that. (I've tried using the probono appimages in the past and had to stop because I was concerned and annoyed by how they tried to integrate with my desktop.)

I agree it would be simple but it may also cause other bugs because it is something that is unexpected from a user who uses app image files and wants to have them integrated into my desktop. The integration is provided from an optional daemon and not automatic. Not having the extension properly capitalized has already caused two tickets (one here and one on the daemon) and I'm sure more will happen in the future. Introduced in https://invent.kde.org/graphics/krita/-/commit/28ae5eceb65f6a3cf37a98f69aa50ca4d92c6c6a . Halla, Anna, what should we do here? Re-confirmed. From a quick search online, using '.AppImage' seems to be the norm out there on the internet (including official appimages by QTractor, Kate, and Kdenlive). Chatted with dmitryK about it as well and it seems reverting back to .AppImage is in order.
