Describe the bug

My PC run fine under KDE Neon 6.1 (Debian, Ubuntu 22.04 LTS based) and running fine with AppImageLauncher 2.2.0 (all the appimage files are on the data partition).

Because my original SSD was to short for all my needs, I upgraded my PC with new set of SSDs (2 SSDs : 1 system + 1 for datas). After doing a full system backup (all system & data partitions) and successfully restoring on the new SSDs, I had the surprise to see some of my "integrated" appimages (the ones with the name changed to a series of numbers) doesn't work anymore.

  • Even after waiting a while, these appimages doesn't show or be integrated again
  • Deleting the associated file in .local/share/applications doesn't help to integrate again the applications.

Question : Why some appimages change it's name and others not ?

This problem occurs also if the partition is changed or moved (even if the folder structure '/ois the same as previous one). Which relation between the appimage and folder / partition?

Perhaps it should be some leftover files somewhere in the system which prevent to refresh the "integrated" appimages ? It could be interesting to know where are the leftover files.

Expected behavior

After waiting for AppImage Launcher and system to reset its tables, the system should display the "integrated" applications

Steps to reproduce the issue

Change (or moving to another disk) of the AppImage folder.
