Maybe we could switch AppImage to v2?

This format has some interesting possibilities like:

  • Compression of the AppImage file
  • Optionnal real portable mode adding a directory appname.AppImage.home or appname.AppImage.config
  • Switches like --appimage-extract and --appimage-extract-and-run

Sure. It's planned so any help is appreciated.

From my experience on unpacking and patching Synfig(v1) and Enve(v2) AppImage files, there is no problem of compatibility with the current setup for repack from AppImage v1 to v2.

The only change would have to be done in synfigstudio-master-appimage.sh, replacing AppImageAssistant by appimagetool-x86_64.AppImage or appimagetool-i686.AppImage
Or maybe an additionnal step with unpack/repack cycle, but it should no be necessary.

See the scripts for more details
