Improve linux icon generation

See original GitHub issue

Problem

According to the docs icons for Linux can be generated, but it’s not clear how.

For instance I was setting the icon like this for linux:

"icon": "resources/icon/icon.png",

Now it seems that electron-builder will look for the “icon.png” file itself, so I should have rather used:

"icon": "resources/icon",

This is somewhat weird and I can see it leading to bugs for other people also.

Solution

If a .icns or .png file is set explicitly, than that one should be used for generating the icon.

I hate these bots.

When is closing a legitimate issue a good idea just because nobody had the time to take care of it yet?!

I’m closing this as I’ve exhausted the patience for dealing with this bot.
