Result with "-f" option This is my path to Applications (assigned to AppMan). You can see both: My dowloaded AppImages, and the installed AppMan ones as expected. |

When I installed AppMan and it asked about default path, I wrote "/home/myuser/Applications" same result for your suggested path: This is the sequence (in date-time order) of appman commands I did from beginning: Now, I did "appman --relocate", selected "yes" and put "/home/myuser/AppMan". After it finished, I checked again with And tree result: Using "-l" option give a weid error "Doesn't exist file or directory" I even moved my manually installed AppImages from "Applications", but nothing changed. I tried the same in another PC (both PC have openSUSE Tumbleweed with Plasma). This other PC had not "Applications" folder (all were dowloaded to "bin" folder). In this case, I didn't installed recommended applications. The result after install same applications with appman is that in this case them are working AND appeared like installed . I can check or give you any information you need to guess what's happening. Thank you!! |

On the PC where AppMan is behaving strangely: On the PC where AppMan is installed (same operating system) in the default suggested folder (~/Applications). PowerLine is installed on this computer Please, tell me where is the file you mentioned to edit with, not sure where it is located. Update: I even can delete AppMan installed applications: |

After I launched same command in the other PC (Tumbleweed too) and showed this: I think I've figured out where the problem lies. Although I thought I'd already mentioned it here, I can't find that explanation, so I'm doing it now. After verifying that "find" did give me results on the other PC, it was clear we were missing something. Apparently, your script uses "find" to search for files, and by default, "find" ignores the contents of soft links. On the machine where AppMan is behaving strangely, the "Applications" folder is a soft link, and therefore, everywhere you use "find" in your script, it won't return correct results. I think the way to solve the mystery is to add "-L" to all the lines of code where you use "find". |

Perfect. I don't want to leave this thread without congratulating you on your great work. It's the most comprehensive thing I've seen, allowing updates and version control, listing new applications, and even warning about FUSE. I haven't found anything so complete. I hope that in time, we'll have a GUI that simplifies the whole process. Thank you very much for your work, Ivan. Update: My STAR given to your project here |

I've found myself in a situation where I need to know the official website of an AppImage so I can report bugs or improvements. However, since I'm using the AppImage manager instead of searching online myself, I can't find the developer's website.
This happened to me, for example, with "Affinity." I'd been looking for ways to install this Windows package on Linux for weeks, and it turns out there's an AppImage for it called "affinity" (I discovered this using your "AppMan" application). However, after installing it, the Affinity program launches, and after displaying its window, it crashes with errors.
How can I find the source website of the AppImage I install with AppMan?
