AppImage icon not working
See original GitHub issue- Version: 21.2.0
- Target: linux, Appimage
As stated in the docs:
Since electron-builder 21 desktop integration is not a part of produced AppImage file. AppImageLauncher is the recommended way to integrate AppImages.
I’m not a big fan of this decision but it for sure has reasons, idk. I tried out linux mojave (arch linux) and installed the appimagelauncher to integrate the AppImage, Sadly there is no icon in the start menu.
The AppImage docs say the icon file has to be in <root>/usr/share/icons/<theme>/<resolution>/apps/myapp.<ext>, I extracted the AppImage generated by electron-builder and the icon file in there symlinks to usr/share/icons/hicolor/scalable/myapp.svg, as you see /apps is missing, this might be the cause?
