Improved option -t or template

  • merged the 4 templates for downloading and installing AppImage packages (new sub-option "0");
  • merged the 2 templates for the "on the fly" creation of AppImage packages (new sub-option "1");
  • merged the 2 templates for downloading and installing tar/zip/7z archives (new sub-option "2");
  • moved the template for custom Firefox profiles (new sub-option "3").

The sub-options were therefore reduced from 10 to 4.

For the new sub-options 0 and 1 two new templates will be used

  • AM-SAMPLE-AppImage (select "0"):
    • allows you to automatically select an update method, if a .zsync file is present that one will be used, otherwise the installed version will be compared with the new one present at the source;
    • if available on github, will have a dedicated method for selecting the latest version;
    • if you want to point to a site other than github, simply follow the instructions, and if you want to point to a fixed release, just add "echo" before the URL.
  • AM-SAMPLE-Archive (select "1"):
    • if available on github, will have a dedicated method for selecting the latest version;
    • the extract and move functions occur in two steps, while you are in ./tmp and while you are exiting ./tmp;
    • possibility to specify the original name of the binary file if it is different from that of the script;
    • added customization of the .desktop file;
    • if you don't add a URL to the icon, portable-linux-apps.github.io will be used as the source.

This change will make it super easy to create your installation scripts, on your own!

Try to believe!
