  • Version: 22.9.1
  • Electron Version: 10.20.0
  • Electron Updater: 4.3.5
  • Target: Linux AppImage

First time building for Linux and I don't know exactly what I need to do so this can work.
I target the AppImage format and installed the app, but there's no icon in the app launcher.

"linux": {
	"target": [
		{
			"target": "AppImage"
		}
	],
	"category": "Office",
	"icon": "assets/appIcon.png",
	"maintainer": "Company Name",
	"vendor": "Company Name",
	"extraResources": ["./assets"],
	"desktop": {
		"Name": "My App",
		"Terminal": "false"
	}
}

The icons show in the lateral menu but now in the "Show Applications" menu.

I download another AppImage App (Popsicle - random download just to test and see if it was possible to a AppImage have an icon in the "Show Applications") and installed it and there's an icon .

I found this suggestion on another issue: #2577 (comment)

After some tests and adjustments...

Another question... does the AppImage itself supports an icon?
It would be best for the user if the AppImage has an icon...

Is this still relevant? If so, what is blocking it? Is there anything you can do to help move it forward?
