Created attachment 100887 [details] [screenshot of the *.appimage file created instead of *.desktop] Hi, recent Appimages ask for the creation of a shortcut *.desktop in a dialog at start-up. Problems: ======== - If user choose 'No' the Appimage keep asking for creating the *.desktop file at every start-up. ( something probably in all Appimage, read comment of HidariRyoushin here about Rambox doing the same behavior https://www.reddit.com/r/LinuxActionShow/comments/50iefe/an_illustrated_guide_to_the_krita_appimage/ ) - If user choose 'Yes' the Appimage create something in the /home/<username>/.local/share/applications folder. It's a broken *.desktop file, the extension is *.appimage. You can find a visual in attachement. (note: If this file exist, the question dialog at start-up stops. )
If you do not want to be asked by any AppImage whether a desktop file should be created, then create an empty file at one of these locations: $HOME/.local/share/appimagekit/no_desktopintegration /usr/share/appimagekit/no_desktopintegration /etc/appimagekit/no_desktopintegration
Created attachment 100897 [details] [screenshot of the feature request] Hey Probono, thanks for the answer. Can this file be auto-generated by the dialog? I attach here a little feature request/mockup to ease this action.
I removed it again for 3.0.1 final.
