Incomplete filenames in AppImageHub / where else to download? #2785
Comments
I just found a ppa that works with Kubuntu 20.04 LTS:
It pops up when clicking the AppImage file. There is a ali-cli shell command. It would be great to see a search and get function in it. |

I'm trying to download the latest AppImage of Firefox from AppImageHub, link below. The problem is that the name of the AppImage is cutoff so that I can't see if its the latest version. This is also a problem on pages that have multiple formats of files to download that I cant see any file title information that would tell me what they are.
I realize you may not affiliated with AppImageHub, but they do seem to be the central location for downloading AppImages, and I don't see a GitHub repo for them. I'll try to see if I can find the various AppImages on this GitHub somewhere. Maybe I'm missing some other major repository. Flatpak has a package manager similar to Apt that can search for programs and install, which is very useful when scripting a installation setup.
I also tried using the CLI tool so I could see the entire file name, but the AppImage for it wouldnt run on Kubuntu and the deb file wouldnt install. I would be really helpful if there was a simple CLI package for searching, downloading and maybe updating AppImages. I also tried the Pling store AppImage, but the program, just Chromium, isn't in there. It would really help people adopting this format which is great for portable installs. One last request, could you implement a runtime flag on the file that would run in Portable Mode like PortableApps does? They include a user folder by default internal to its main directory (on Windows), and has several runtime --flag options for different main settings that can be included in desktop or taskbar shortcuts.
