As many excellent apps you will find in the AppImage format, you may still miss personal favorite.
What should you do?
-
Please understand that this project develops AppImageKit, a collection of tools for application developers that enables them toto create their own AppImages for end users ("upstream packaging")
-
Open feature requests with the respective upstream projects (example: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=296568), or - much better (if you are a developer and know how to do this) - pull requests that create an AppImage (example: https://github.com/qpdf/qpdf/pull/161). Here is a template that you may use.
-
Point them to
linxudeployqt(especially its examples section) and the AppImage Wiki -
Mention the project's willingness to help if they are running into trouble.
As for the AppImage project, we do help interested upstream projects to create AppImages if they are running into trouble. Due to resource limitations, however, we cannot:
- Support application end users wishing to convert an existing application into an AppImage if none of the application's developers is interested in collaborating
- Create an maintain AppImages for application projects if none of the application's developers is interested in taking over AppImage maintainership
PLEASE NOTE: We do not develop AppImages. We simply provide application developers with the tools to do so and support them in creating AppImages. So if you would like an AppImage to be made for your favorite application, please ask the project that makes the application to provide an AppImage.
For reference, you may open your favorites in the list below, ideally with a link to the issue tracker in which you opened a feature request with the respective application project.
Adding projects here and hoping that this will make AppImages magically appear will do nothing. Please be sure to read and understand the text above before adding applications here.
