How to use right click update correctly about appimaged HOT 4 CLOSED

AppImageLauncher provides updating from the context menu in a more reliable way. Perhaps you want to give it a try? It's a more holistic approach on AppImage integration into Linux desktops.

I created a small service menu for KDE Plasma/KF5 for the openSUSE package:
https://build.opensuse.org/package/view_file/home:munix9/AppImageUpdate/appimage-update.desktop?expand=1

[Desktop Entry]
Type=Service
ServiceTypes=KonqPopupMenu/Plugin
MimeType=application/vnd.appimage;
Actions=check;update;
X-KDE-Submenu=AppImage
X-KDE-Priority=TopLevel

[Desktop Action check]
Name=Check for update
Name[de]=Auf Aktualisierung prüfen
Icon=AppImageUpdate
Exec=kdialog --title "AppImageUpdate" --msgbox "<p>%u</p><p><b>$(AppImageUpdate -j %u 2>&1 | tail -n +2)</b></p>"

[Desktop Action update]
Name=Update
Name[de]=Aktualisieren
Icon=AppImageUpdate
Exec=AppImageUpdate %u >/dev/null 2>&1

appimage-update.desktop can be stored in /usr/share/kservices5/ServiceMenus/ (global) or ~/.local/share/kservices5/ServiceMenus/ (user).

But this belongs more to https://github.com/AppImage/AppImageUpdate

AppImageLauncher also sounds interesting.
