Adding an AppImage as a Gnome Application

Six steps from donwloading an appimage to making it available as a Gnome desktop application. The examples assume that one stores the appimage files in folder /opt/var/AppImage/ but any folder will do.

1. Download the appimage, e.g. cd /opt/var/AppImage/ && wget https://mirrors.mit.edu/kde/stable/digikam/7.3.0/digiKam-7.3.0-x86-64.appimage

2. Set the executable bit, e.g. chmod u+x digiKam-7.3.0-x86-64.appimage

3. Get an icon file (*.png) from the web, e.g. the github project page.
