AppImage Icon for the Menu in Ubuntu

Hello,

I would like to have a RemNote starter icon for the Ubuntu menu and the possibility to stick this app starter to the menu. At the moment there is only a blank, invisible space in the menu and a “dot” at the right sight.

Kind regards

Some AppImages will nicely integrate themselves into your system, others will not. Tools like AppImageLauncher can help with that, though I’m not sure if it would find the correct icon.

You can get it working on your system with just a little effort though by creating the following plain text file, naming it “remnote.desktop”, and sticking it in /home/[your user name]/.local/share/applications:

[Desktop Entry]
Name=RemNote
Exec=/path/to/your/appimage/file.AppImage --no-sandbox %U
Terminal=false
Type=Application
Icon=/path/to/the/icon/image
StartupWMClass=Remnote
X-AppImage-Version=1.7.6.27744
Comment=RemNote
Categories=Utility;

I mostly just copied the remnote.desktop file that is embedded in the AppImage file. You’ll need to put in the correct paths for the location of the AppImage file itself in the “Exec=” line; same with the “Icon=” line.

Here’s the icon image that is also embedded in the AppImage file that you can download and save somewhere on your computer.
