Guide for installing & integrating .Appimages

[ghost]

It's very easy to run .appimages, you can simply just right click and make them executable but integrating into the file system is a different story.

Do you mean like a guide for the AppImage launcher or creating desktop entries for it?

Installing part is covered here, @gonzoknows you could work on one for integrating it.

The part for creating desktop entries, so you can search the app and run it from the search bar. That is activated when you press super key/windows. I got stuck on creating the entries, as on a regular system you just move them into root and done (usr/local/applications/etc).

That would be nice. Feel free to add it. Maybe name it "Creating Desktop entries for AppImages" or something like that.

Yeah, here you need ABRoot for it.

Would simply installing appimagelauncher to ABRoot be more convenient for future appimages so you don't have to add each one with ABRoot?

You don't need to use ABRoot if you place them under ~/.local/share/applications.
