Downloaded apps don't appear in Installed tab, which is empty

I tried to download Obsidian from the Browse tab > Search > app name. I opened the app info page and clicked on Download:

I confirmed download, and waited for it to finish. The Download button remained the same and no "Launch" button appeared as in other apps like macOS App Store, so I wasn't sure it worked, but clicking on the Download pop-up confirmed it worked:

So I clicked on the downloaded item itself as you'd do on a web browser, but nothing happened.

It seems I had to go back, back again to clear my search field, then click Installed tab, which was empty:

so I cannot manage my downloaded apps, which is the strong point of AppImagePool.

Also, I find the process a bit complicated in terms of UX. Being able to see your download completed on the app info page, seeing a Launch button appear and clicking on it would be more convenient.

Same for me (Fedora 38, installed from flatpak). Kinda useless without this functionality
