Tenacity Audio EditorGreat news! We just got some packaging work done that's going into the rebase branch. It is now possible to build <a href="https://floss.social/tags/AppImages" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#AppImages</a> and installers again!On top of that, SHA256 hashes are now automatically generated, and we now build our installer with <a href="https://floss.social/tags/CPack" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#CPack</a> using a custom <a href="https://floss.social/tags/CMake" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#CMake</a> script, so all packaging is the same process. When we bring back nightly builds, this will be a nice way to verify your download. Plus, it will save us a few steps in packaging official binaries 😛

LiquidParasyteSomething that would be really nice to add to <a href="https://pawb.fun/tags/KDE" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#KDE</a> and Kinoite is a section in Application Permissions for managing <a href="https://pawb.fun/tags/AppImages" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#AppImages</a>Basically everything they do for <a href="https://pawb.fun/tags/Flatpak" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Flatpak</a> but in AppImage terms. Gear Level essentially. They already have a (imo superfluous) subsection for X11, let's expand it while we're at itNo they aren't exactly sandboxed the way Flatpaks are so the perms might not work the same, but an integrated menu to manage them would go a long way. More integrations for managing packages of all types would be good actuallyI want to right click a desktop shortcut to a flatpak, appimage or snap and get a menu that links to the Permissions pageI want to open the Permissions page and get an About info screen and a 1-click uninstall button instead of sending me to Discover. Why are you sending me to Discover? What if its not listed in Discover?I want to double click an RPM, DEB or .desktop and have that give me options for installing that to my native package store, distro/toolbox or rpm-ostree

LiquidParasyteMmk this is actually driving me up the wallIs there something about <a href="https://pawb.fun/tags/appimages" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#appimages</a> that breaks the menu bar from working properly on KDE? I've installed the same app from a flatpak and from an appimage and it's only on the appimages that the menu bar is completely missing

oblate<a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/AppImages" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#AppImages</a> are pretty good. I think I prefer them to snaps and flatpaks. The thing I like about them is that I can transport them to new setups, have an automated dekstop install, and I'm up and away in moments. I don't need the latest and greatest in everything, so this way really suits me.

samurroIs there no easy maintained way to update <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/appimages" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#appimages</a> yet? Should I just default to use flatpaks instead? I know there was an update, but <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/github" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#github</a> showing it hasn't been updated for years. And the other appimageupdater I found is in alpha status? *sigh*

OMG! Ubuntu!AppImage Fan? Be Sure to Check Out ‘Gear Lever’AppImages are great: a single runtime containing all of the required dependencies for the app to run, in a double-click binary you can run from anywhere on your system. And therein lies the rub. When I download an AppImage for software like Audacity, Kdenlive, etc., it’s to a folder or my desktop. To run it, I have navigate to the folder and double-click on the binary as unless I manually choose to create a .desktop launcher it won’t appear in any app launcher/menu. Solutions exist, of course. In 2022 I featured a terrific tool to integrate AppImages with Ubuntu easily. :sys_more_orange: <a href="https://hello.2heng.xin/tags/News" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#News</a> <a href="https://hello.2heng.xin/tags/Appimages" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Appimages</a> <a href="https://hello.2heng.xin/tags/AppsOnFlathub" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#AppsOnFlathub</a> <a href="https://hello.2heng.xin/tags/GearLever" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#GearLever</a> <a href="https://hello.2heng.xin/tags/Libadwaita" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Libadwaita</a> :sys_omgubuntu: <a href="https://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2024/07/gear-lever-appimage-app-for-gnome" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2024/07/gear-lever-appimage-app-for-gnome</a>

jeff_3ixHaven't tried it yet, but I know Nitrux Linux relies heavily on AppImages. Does Nitrux use an actively maintained version of FUSE2? Beautiful distro, btw, Nitrux people.

jeff_3ixIf the default linux system is less secure with the old packages needed to run AppImages, why are security-focused companies like Bitwarden still putting out official AppImages?

jeff_3ixBut it seems that AppImages are getting left behind (or should get left behind??) if they are relying on deprecated and usually unmaintained back-end software. Why when I search the web for FUSE and FUSE2, is almost all the of the focus is on how to macguiver your system to be less secure?

jeff_3ixThanks <a href="https://mastodon.world/@75watt" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@75watt</a> for finding the Fedora maintenance info.

jeff_3ixAppImages are fine. But only if you know you are getting your FUSE2 maintained, like in Fedora[^1] (?maybe others??). If you have to download libfuse2.* yourself to make them run, or aren't sure if your libfuse2.* is being maintained anymore, then that is a potential security hole for your system.
