Not quite sure of how do that, can you point me any doc? |

@probonopd just test it using AppImageKit it looks good to me, just a few issue with some broken AppImages who doesn't properly include the icon. |
I was able to reproduce the issue on KDE Neon, it seems that if you logout and login or just restart plasma the icons are shown. I'm suspecting here that it's an issue with Qt making a cache of the image files at the wrong time. Also tried running all the commands and dbus calls that AppImageLauncher uses without success. By the way the |
I've made some progress, found that if I totally reload the kde icon theme the applications icons are shown. Then I went to the icons kcm module and found this: It seems that if we do the same from appimaged the icons will be loaded. Now I wonder how to call those methods from the cli 🤔 |

We already know that, what I suspect that is missing is removing the old icons cache, see: |

@probonopd we know what is not working already. KDE has a cache |
Besides, it's (also) XFCE that gives us trouble... |
That's another tale, but so far I haven't been able to reproduce it. Maybe #12 will have some effect on this scenario (but provably it will not do anything KDE) |
Possibly when this happens in fact my whole |
When the icons are not working, AppImages are also not made executable anymore. The whole thing seems to just do nothing anymore
|
Now we have a different bug to hunt. First I'll try to reproduce the issue, maybe there is some weird app in your system that is causing this will try to adding more broken/weird stuff to my test box. |
@probonopd could you please try |
|
Indeed. But it does not say anymore which AppImage is being worked on. |
The generated file (if any) should have a reference to them. |
Yeah there should be a desktop entry with an Exec key in there. |
@probonopd this is the system I'm using to test SystemImageKit, would you mind to take a look at it. Maybe I'm ignoring something while trying to reproduce the issue. https://drive.google.com/open?id=1DbnJMaCRL73kvu4Gng6_QnCx7RV86Kfb |

Wow, never tried SystemImageKit in a VM. Can't download atm because it's 8.8G in size... |
I suggested @azubieta to upload it to allow you to actually see a working example. This issue doesn't seem to be reproducible on other systems. Must be you. |
I can reproduce that the icons are there while appimaged is still running for the first time, until they disappear. So I suspect that #12 might solve this. |
On an "empty" system without a large collection of AppImages of varying quality this does not happen. So we need to test this with large collections of random AppImages. |
This is what happens (I added
Why is the format "unknown"?
From here on, everyhting seems to fail:
If I remove
The pattern is that we get "Unknown AppImage format" for one AppImage, after which all further ones fail. |
@probonopd I was running out of ideas with this issue, but now we have an AppImage to analyze. Would you mind to share a link to it. |
It happens not just with one AppImage. It's more like it happens after the 60th processed AppImage or so. Do you have a large directory full of collected AppImages? |
fwiw, this is my |
Wherenver I remove the offending AppImage, it's another one that becomes the one that has the issue. So I doubt it has to do with the AppImages themselves.
Especially because they look fine:
