Preen 0.6.0 — right-click Run / Install with Preen for AppImage files, a Downloads watcher, old-kernel cleanup and a firewall toggle.

New in 0.6.0

  • Right-click integration: open any .AppImage with Preen — a small dialog offers Install for unknown apps and Run / Update from this file / Remove for installed ones. No main window, no scanning.
  • File manager menu: the AppImages page can add optional "Install with Preen" / "Run with Preen" right-click entries and make Preen the default app for .AppImage double-clicks.
  • New CLI handlers: preen --appimage-handler FILE, preen --appimage-run FILE (launch detached, no window), preen --deb-handler FILE (install with one polkit prompt).
  • Downloads watching: the AppImages page notices new AppImages as they finish downloading.
  • Old-kernel cleanup in Deep Clean: removes kernel versions older than the running one plus one spare — the running kernel is never touched, sizes are measured first.
  • Firewall toggle on Optimize System (UFW, applies immediately after confirmation).
