Phyllis,
It looks OK, I just put in a pinpoint in the text below:

Terje,
I will rename it README_appimage.txt which is what I should have done
in the first place but it was new and I did not know how it would all
work out. Below is what it will now say and if it looks OK to you, I
will put it on the website tomorrow. Note that I left out any mention
of cin.svg because now with AppImage, the source is no longer
downloaded to the user and they would have to get it from the website
src/cin...tgz file. You lose some capabilities with the AppImage, but
the users who have been around awhile can find ways or do their own
builds.
******************************************************************************************
AppImage is a software package that can be installed and run on
various Linux
distros. It has several advantages in that there is no need to install or
compile software and no need to have root permission. In addition, no
system
files are modified and you can simply delete the software by deleting the
AppImage file.
To install an AppImage, download it, make it executable and run it. It
is a
compressed image and contains all the dependencies/libraries needed to
run.
1) download AppImage file move from Download folder to your
preference
2) make it executable chmod u+x {AppImageFile name}
3) run it, for example ./CinGG-date-x86_64.AppImpage
ARCH requires install of the "libappimage" package.
LEAP 15.3 (openSUSE) requires install of the "appimage" package.
***** Alternative GUI method to download provided by Leap 15.3 user *****
To run and integrate Cinelerra AppImage with installed "AppImageLauncher",
follow the next few steps.
Build packages for AppImageLauncher (rpm, deb) to install are found here:
https://github.com/TheAssassin/AppImageLauncher/releases/tag/continuous
On openSUSE Leap 15.3 (and hopefully somewhat
similar on other distros) AppImageLauncher is integrated with Firefox.
1) Start to download the AppImage file, and the download Manager
popups in Firefox
with the option to open it with AppImageLauncher (instead of
Saving).
2) At the end of the download a new popup asks to integrate it with
your desktop system, so click OK. The AppImage installation
directory
is /home/user/Application by default, but can be changed.
This automatically is integrated with icons and in the Gnome app-menu.
