Not sure what this means for the AppImage, but thought you should know it doesn't work everywhere.

Does the AppImage run correctly after you installed OpenShot via pacman? It may be that it brought in a dependency with it.

AppImages will never run everywhere, there's a certain minimum host system capability that's assumed to be present. One of those capabilities is libselinux, which is what your system is/was lacking originally.

It's possible installing OpenShot brought along libselinux.so.1 as a dependency. Or it's possible that the OpenShot dependencies on Arch are built without linking to libselinux.so.1, in which case we should probably explore whether we can package the AppImage the same way. (Though I'm a little worried what implications that might possibly have on systems that do use SELinux.)

From the homepage:

Linux (64-bit AppImage)
AppImage requires no installation. Just download, make executable, and run.

AppImages will never run everywhere, there's a certain minimum host system capability that's

The prose on the homepage is a little misleading, then: on Arch Linux + XFCE the steps didn't work.

It's possible installing OpenShot brought along libselinux.so.1 as a dependency.

Not sure if that's the root cause. After installing using pacman then running the AppImage, the same (?) error occurs:

$ ./OpenShot-v2.5.1-x86_64.AppImage 
Loaded modules from current directory: /tmp/.mount_ZYFZK1/usr/bin
QGtkStyle could not resolve GTK. Make sure you have installed the proper libraries.

Hope it helps!

Agreed, the website overpromises. Or AppImages under-deliver. Probably a bit of both, I suppose. They've definitely been a disappointment on the compatibility front, though. I can see why container-based systems like Flatpak have grown more prominent, though those have their own problems. (For one, sandboxing would prevent our integrations with external apps like Inkscape and Blender.)

Anyway, this is a known issue, closing as duplicate of #2278.
