AppImage Decompression
Would it be possible to add an option to decompress an existing flatimage? This would allow users to more easily make manual modifications inside the package if needed, before re-packaging it.
Thank you very much for your great work and consideration!
Well, it's currently not possible to decompress the files as far as I know (since I'm only a user of this project). What you can do and what I did is create a game package with a file manager onboard (doublecmd for Windows), which allows me to extract the game files if I want to repack or access the original files.
What I sometimes do:
game.flatimage fim-bind add rw /somewhere /host
game.flatimage fim-exec bash
cp -r /opt/gameimage-games /host/
exit
Replace /somewhere with a folder that exists on your machine.
Then you have the files to restore the temporary gameimage files and folders. Most of the time, I only need the wine folder that is in there. I open gameimage, create a new game instance, and copy the wine folder that is in a subfolder in /somewhere .
