Before opening a new issue
Install the staging branch and check if the unexpected behavior is happening there as well.
If you are on ArchLinux-based distro, you can install it through AUR (bauh-staging). Otherwise, you have
to clone the repository and install it with pip.

Done, the problem persists

Describe the bug

File picker for AppImage ignores other cases for file extension, like appname.appImage or appname.appimage. It would be nice if it was case insensitive or includes most common cases, at least. Or perhaps include a "All Files" filter to show any file, and do some checking if the file is actually an AppImage.

Software Environment
bauh version: 0.9.18
O.S: _Pop!OS 21.04 (like Ubuntu 21.04)
Python version: Pyhton 3.9.5
Installation method: pip

Once again, thanks a lot for bauh.
Regards

@lfom it works for KDE (at leat) independently of the case like the picture below shows:
bauh_appimage

But I will have a look if there is a property that could force the case to be ignored.

@vinifmor Hmm... For some reason, it seems that on Gnome (at least on Pop!_OS) it uses a GTK-based file dialog, and filters are case sensitive.

Added a generic filter (.*) for this cases. Already on staging.

@vinifmor Tested on 0.9.19 and I have found a few quirks:

  1. The file dialog now always use the Qt version (OK)
  2. When adding an AppImage manually, the file dialog most often starts using (*.*) filter instead of (*.AppImage) filter (GLITCH)
  3. The Upgrade AppImage file dialog only has the (*.AppImage) filter, but as it seems to be case insensitive now probably it is a very minor glitch (GLITCH?)

If you want, I can open new issues for 2 or 3, if you think it will help. Thank you again.

Alright. It's better for tracking the pending issues/behaviors. Thank you.
