Add command-line symlinks with simplified names feature

Open NotCorpe opened this issue 5 months ago • 0 comments

This PR adds two new features to facilitate the use of integrated AppImages from the terminal:

  1. Creation of symbolic links in ~/.local/bin for integrated AppImages, allowing them to be launched from the terminal.
  2. Use of simplified names for these links (like "cursor" instead of "Cursor-0_48_9-x86_64_0ec6c12a061af79a840403cc4b4ab235").

The new features include:

  • Configurable options in the settings user interface
  • Logic for handling name conflicts (with numeric suffixes)
  • Automatic synchronization of links when integrating/disintegrating AppImages
  • Verification of ~/.local/bin presence in PATH

These features have been successfully tested with several AppImages (Cursor, Krita, Audacity).
