AppImage for VLC (x86_64) and GIMP (x86_64 and i386) here!
Hi, I have just released some AppImages for VLC and GIMP. Here are the links to my repositories:
- VLC at https://github.com/ivan-hc/VLC_media_player-x86_64.AppImage
- GIMP at https://github.com/ivan-hc/GIMP-64bit-and-32bit.AppImage
Tested on Ubuntu 18.04 (x86_64), Debian Unstable (x86_64) and Debian 11 (i386). If you are interested in distributing them and/or fork the repositories to improve the workflow, you're welcome.
Hello @ivan-hc, thanks for letting us know. Having official AppImages for VLC and GIMP would be great. maybe you would like to get in contact with the VLC and GIMP projects and offer them to volunteer on making official AppImages for those projects?
We are generally recommending users to download applications directly from their authors rather than from third parties, in order to be sure the applications are delivered (and supported) exactly as intended by the authors.
Would be great. Unfortunately I don't have much time to program (because of my job), but I would be happy to offer my collaboration.
@probonopd can I ask you a question?
I'm building some appimages for baobab, epiphany-browser and other gnome-based programs, also handbrake is available, but they cannot use my local language, they are in english only. I use a custom AppRun and everything works well for all my AppImages, except the language. What is the line I must add to my AppRun scripts to solve this issue?
Probably you need to export a Gtk/Gnome-specific environment variable so that the application can find the language files. Things like GTK_EXE_PREFIX, GTK_DATA_PREFIX.
Instead of trying to make third-party AppImages without the help of the authors of the applications, I'd recommend that you pick one of those apps and work with its developers until the app project has an officially provided and supported AppImage. Similar to how I did it here: https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/merge_requests/478
