Suggestion: symlink appimage to folder in $PATH

See original GitHub issue

It would be great if bauh would create symlink of installed appimages in folder which is exist in $PATH.

With this feature application could be launched directly from terminal and parameters could be passed to app (e.g.) vscodium ~/example-file or ksnip -f

Easiest solution would be to create symlink in $HOME/.local/bin/ (since this folder is already added to $PATH)

Or introduce new folder that needs to be added to $PATH e.g. $HOME/.local/share/bauh/appimage/bin

Symlink should be created:

  1. without app version
  2. without appimage extension
  3. should be in lowercase

Thanks for this great app! Best regards
