AppImageLauncher does not integrate Digikam 8.4.0 AppImage

Describe the bug

Exceuting the 'Integrate to system and run' command when first clicking the AppImage moves the AppImage to the desired location but shows the error 'Failed to register AppImage in system via libappimage' after. The AppImage won't show in the menu and no .desktop file is created. Until Digikam 8.3.0 it all worked fine. The Digikam developers sent me here, since they are sure it is an AIL issue.

Trying the integration via Terminal, I receive the following:

$ chmod a+x /home/xxxx/Applications/digiKam-8.4.0-Qt6-x86-64.appimage 
$ /home/rs/Applications/digiKam-8.4.0-Qt6-x86-64.appimage install

AppImageLauncher error: appimage_shall_not_be_integrated() failed (returned -1)
AppImageLauncher error: appimage_is_terminal_app() failed (returned -1)

(process:5399): GLib-CRITICAL **: 10:03:35.339: g_file_test: assertion 'filename != NULL' failed
(process:5399): GLib-CRITICAL **: 10:03:46.030: g_path_get_basename: assertion 'file_name != NULL' failed
** (process:5399): CRITICAL **: 10:03:46.030: Failed to find desktop file path

Expected behavior

Exceuting the 'Integrate to system and run' command when first clicking the AppImage usually moves the AppImage to the desired location and saves an appropriate .desktop file to ~/.local/share/applications/. The app is launchable from start menu then and behaves more or less the same as any other app.

Steps to reproduce the issue

1. Execute the 'Integrate to system and run' command when first clicking the AppImage.

I can confirm it does not work on my side either using Linux Fedora 40. Is there another way to integrate it to the desktop? I'm a Linux newbie.

[brjhaverkamp]

Same here. Downloaded 8.4.0 just now. But it doesn't integrate. On Ubuntu 24.04

[Prakhargarg-2010196]

Same here can confirm not working on Ubuntu version 22.04 (jammy)

[Area5142]

Same here on Linux Mint 21.2 x64 - not working with digiKam-8.4.0-Qt5-x86-64.appimage or digiKam-8.4.0-Qt6-x86-64.appimage.

I decided to poke around a bit myself, and the issue is either that the org.kde.shofoto.desktop symlink is invalid or that the desktop files are symlinks at all.

[biokomiker]

Is this your typo or a typo in the app image:
It must be showfoto not shofoto ....

[shmuelie]

I copied the name from the appimage so the appimage has the issue

[ouinouin]

same behavior here on linux mint 21.3

ouinouin@ouindell:~$ AppImageLauncher /home/ouinouin/Applications/digiKam-8.4.0-Qt6-x86-64_97532ebe62ba5dabb5109d0c795a129c.appimage

[ouinouin]

also checked on 8.5.0 : this image
i got the same result

[shmuelie]

So the typo was fixed in https://invent.kde.org/graphics/digikam/-/commit/3f64a4d05cc600d3d710c8a21b03b4a2dc87381c, meaning that if @ouinouin still had it was the latest builds, that's not it. It then could be from https://invent.kde.org/graphics/digikam/-/commit/f6f74db5b9cc1ce5a7b0552750f3492994447855 which changed to using symlinks instead of putting the desktop files in the root.

@shmuelie you were right.

The bug has been fixed by the lead developer today.
