I have installed Bitwarden through its AppImage, and added a .desktop file to run it easily (and also to use a themed icon). Unfortunately, each time an update comes out, I need to manually update the file since it points directly to the older version

is there anything that can be done about this? I know of AppImageLauncher but I don’t like it, I’d rather install the Flatpak for Bitwarden if that’s the only solution. Another possible approach would be to have a script continuously running in the background, checking if the file Exec points to still exists… but that imho is not very clean.
Do you have any insight?

      I tried AM some time ago, and I was extremely confused about the documentation and how to use it. I even watched a YouTube video from DistroTube on how to use it, but I still couldn’t figure it out. I don’t exactly remember the issues, though, and I hope it’s better now.

        I am using AppMan as it does not require root and it does install the files into my home directory. It uses query parameter instead of search, but the install, update and remove are similar to the apt commands for example. I use AppImages when there is no package in the repository (or only older version) and it is not available as a Flatpak.
