First, let me thank you for this wonderful tool. I am able to bundle a QT application and deploy it on Ubuntu 16.04. However, I have tried many things but I am unable to attach a unique icon to the AppImage linuxdeployqt creates. Below is an example of an attempt on the hellogl2 example app on qt…

I’ve tried multiple icon files, 256x256, 128x128, 48x48, 32x32, and a .SVG version of the icon. All placed in the appropriate subdirectory. Linuxdeployqt finds the appropriate files and will contruct a working AppImage. It’s just this last step of binding an icon to the AppImage with linuxdeploy…

Why is your icon called default.png? Better call it like your application/AppImage, e.g., hellogl2.png. default.png might be used by other apps already, and that might cause issues. Your question is not clear enough for me to understand your issue. What’s your actual problem? Is there an error mes…

Thanks. I renamed the icon filename to the same name of the project, as you suggested (Its a 128x128 .png image, but I can change the format if needed). I also included a -verbose=1 log as well. (the verbose=3 and 2 logs output were too large to post here) Unfortunately I had the same result, I c…

[image] JimmyB: I can not seem to attach a unique icon to the AppImage I create with linuxdeployqt Hi Jimmy, Can you elaborate what your problem is and what you are expecting? I do not understand what you mean by “attach a unique icon to the AppImage”. I have Linuxdeployqt working for me s…

[image] JimmyB: Success Looks like your AppImage was successfully generated. Please upload it somewhere for analysis. Thanks.

Yes, I can successfully create a working AppImage with linuxdeployqt I was thinking that the icon placed within it was used on the AppImage itself. If this is not the case, excuse me, my misunderstanding. Thanks for looking. I put my AppImage on a link below. http://www.mobileapps1.com/sbl/hell…

It works for me on a VM with Ubunto 16.04 running appimaged. [Screenshot%20from%202018-02-13%2012-01-49]

However, without appimaged running the .AppImage file has no icon and there is no icon in the task bar when you run the AppImage. I am not sure if the .AppImage file should have an icon as my image does not either, but there should be an icon in the task bar when the application is running. Do you…

I added a setWindowIcon call in my application which does what it should do, but not what I was l looking for. I tried appimaged too, not exactly what I was looking for, but interesting. What I was hoping for is what happens when you run the example AppImage off AppImage,org called Subsurface http…

I wonder if this is a difference between Type 1 and Type 2 AppImages. When I produced a Type 1 AppImage for my application it behaved much like the Subsurface app you linked to, now that it is a Type 2 AppImage it behaves as yours application does. I think we need @probono to comment on if this be…

Type 2 is the most current version of AppImage and is produced by the appimagetool and linuxdeployqt tools rather than the original AppImageAssistant tool. This thread describes Type 2 AppImages:
