Desktop Entry Removed By AppImage Args

Describe the bug

The app image I'm using is using an out-of-date version of Electron and requires that I add the following args: --disable-features=VizDisplayCompositor. But when I modify the desktop entry to add the args to the exec & try-exec it re-prompts me to integrate and then replaces the desktop file.

Expected behavior

I was hoping it'd allow me to keep the args or when I first run the AppImage with args the integration should preserve them.

Facing the same issue. Logseq has started advising the use of AppImageLauncher for proper desktop integration. However, at least with Pop!_OS, I consistently need to pass --disable-gpu to eliminate rather terrible graphical effects in some of the text. This worked ok when I was using the flatpak installation, but that seems to have fallen by the wayside in favor of AppImage recently.
