request: Install a desktop file on linux

[diegoiast]

If you look here:

https://github.com/diegoiast/qtedit4/blob/a10f778319439508b339e220bf13ae9223e995d8/src/plugins/help/help_plg.cpp#L50

This shows how to create a desktop item. This will make the app be in the KDE/Gnome menus. You can also register your app to the context menus of directories in file browsers.

If you look into qtedit4, the app images contain the version as well - making the rollback trivial (in case the newest version is borked for someone, he can just run the older one).

Interesting, thank you. I used to run the Appimage and then mark it as favorite to keep in the taskbar, but on Ubuntu since ~22 it no longer works, maybe this can fix that pain point.
