Right now they are in usr/lib/grantlee/5.0/ but I don't know if they are picked up from there correctly.

Well, a copy-on-write FUSE filesystem might be a way to achieve this while still maintaining the AppImage objectives; it would make the AppImage appear r/w when it is in fact r/o. Changed files would go somewhere in $HOME but would look to the application as if they were edited in the AppImage.

Use something like zsync to update the AppImage by only downloading the parts of it that have changed. Ubuntu uses this for their nightly ISO builds. http://zsync.moria.org.uk _______________________________________________ subsurface mailing list [email protected] http://lists.subsurface-divelog.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/subsurface
