AppImages often come with the .desktop files and icon assets embedded in the squashfs filesystem.
- Unpack the AppImage:
[application].AppImage --appimage-extract
, note: you can see other appimage options with--appimage-help
- Find the relevant files and copy them:
# Copy the .desktop file from the squashfs-root to the .desktop file store in ~/.local/share/applications/
find squashfs-root/ | grep .desktop
