Issue over the way AppImageD works?

[jradxl]

I have appimaged running in Ubuntu Cosmic, using the Deb installation method, and I have some questions on how it works...

1. Is there a way to configure the directories that appimaged scans. I would prefer it didn't scan downloads.
2. I tried renaming SomeApp.AppImage to SomeApp.AppImageXXX but that didn't stop it! How do you look for programs?
3. In the case of KDevelop's AppImage, the resulting desktop file within the Brisk menu has two arguments after the executable, thus
   Exec=/opt/kdevelop/KDevelop-5.3.0-x86_64.AppImage -b %U
   which prevents it from running, and are not shown by the app's help. If I edit them out, they return on the next boot!!
   Is this a function of how appimaged is working, or is it an issue I should raise with the Kdevelop's developers.
   Thanks

No.

I would prefer it didn't scan downloads.

Thanks, noted.

Since you are not the only one requesting this, I am considering it. May I ask you why?

I tried renaming SomeApp.AppImage to SomeApp.AppImageXXX but that didn't stop it!

As per the AppImage specification, the filename extension does not matter. It's a feature, not a bug. Or would you like appimaged not integrate AppImages with different filename extensions?

is it an issue I should raise with the Develop's developers

Yes. I am asking myself what the -b does and where it is coming from.
Is it in the desktop file that comes with the AppImage?
