[krita] [Bug 447445] appimage extension should be AppImage for desktop integrations

I agree it would be simple but it may also cause other bugs because it is something that is unexpected from a user who uses app image files and wants to have them integrated into my desktop. The integration is provided from an optional daemon and not automatic. Not having the extension properly capitalized has already caused two tickets (one here and one on the daemon) and I'm sure more will happen in the future. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
[krita] [Bug 447445] New: appimage extension should be AppImage for desktop integrations
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=447445 Bug ID: 447445 Summary: appimage extension should be AppImage for desktop integrations Product: krita Version: 5.0.0 Platform: Other OS: Linux Status: REPORTED Severity: minor Priority: NOR Component: General Assignee: krita-bugs-n...@kde.org Reporter: jus...@linux.com Target Milestone: --- SUMMARY *** NOTE: If you are reporting a crash, please try to attach a backtrace with debug symbols. See https://community.kde.org/Guidelines_and_HOWTOs/Debugging/How_to_create_useful_crash_reports *** The appimage extension should be capitalized so other AppImage tooling can work to keep it updated and integrate it with a users desktop. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Install appimaged via https://github.com/probonopd/go-appimage 2. Download krita .appimage file (integrations won't work) 3. rename file extension to .AppImage (desktop shortcut launcher will be created) OBSERVED RESULT Downloading the appimage file wouldn't let me launch it from my desktop search and a shortcut wasn't created. Renaming the extension made the integrations work. EXPECTED RESULT The app would be integrated into my desktop launcher like other app image files SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Windows: macOS: Linux/KDE Plasma: Ubuntu 20.04 (available in About System) KDE Plasma Version: KDE Frameworks Version: Qt Version: ADDITIONAL INFORMATION I really appreciate that you create an app image option because it's the easiest way for me to download and manage the application. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
