Describe the bug
AppImageLauncher is set to watch "~/AppImages". This folder is a soft link to "/mnt/PARTITION B/AppImages".
When I moved "Shutter Encoder.AppImage" to ~/AppImages, it was not integrated, a shortcut was not added to ~/.local/share/applications or the menu (Gnome 40 overview/app launcher) and I cannot find it by searching on the Gnome Overview/App launcher either.
I searched the bug tracker and found issue #370 about issues with spaces in the file name and thought that was the problem, so I renamed the file from "Shutter Encoder.AppImage" to Shutter_Encoder.AppImage (removed the space, replaced it by an underscore) but the app still didn't integrate.
So I searched for "appimage" in the "Processes" section of the Gnome System Monitor (v41). "appimagelauncherd" and "appimagelauncher-lite.AppImage" showed up, I right-clicked on "appimagelauncherd" and clicked on "Kill" and the process died. "appimagelauncher-lite.AppImage" died by itself right after.
I waited for them to come back to life. They did. I waited a little longer to see if the app would integrate, then searched for it again. Nothing. It still didn't integrate.
So I moved "Shutter_Encoder.AppImage" out of the watched folder ("~/AppImage"), waited a little, moved it back in, waited a little again, searched for the app: still nothing, no integration.
I then did the same, but killed "appimagelauncherd" and "appimagelauncher-lite.AppImage" in between moving it out and back in again: still no integration.
Expected behavior
Moving "Shutter Encoder.AppImage" into the watched folder (in my case, ~/AppImages, which is a soft link to /mnt/PARTITION B/AppImages) should integrate the app into the desktop, adding a proper .desktop file with all proper parameters, including icon etc. into the ~/.local/share/applications folder.
Furthermore, renaming "Shutter Encoder.AppImage", including removing spaces, should trigger another attempt to integrate the app — if that's not yet the case.
Steps to reproduce the issue
- Download the Shutter Encoder AppImage (link provided in the list of AppImages tried, below);
- Rename it to "Shutter Encoder.AppImage" or "Shutter_Encoder.AppImage" (with space or underscore);
- Move it into the folder your AppImageLauncher is set to watch;
- Try looking for it in your menu, see how it doesn't show up. Also, notice how the ".desktop" file is not created in your "~/.local/share/applications".
Screenshots
No entry for Shutter Encoder in "~/.local/share/applications".

Oh, so you're using the Lite version. I guess I need to improve the issue form there.
Can you try the latest continuous (pre)release, please https://github.com/TheAssassin/AppImageLauncher/releases/tag/continuous
I am still facing this issue , the appimage provides by https://www.shutterencoder.com/en/ is fine it even has the icon file but still appimage does not integrates or show icon file If I choose Run Once without Integration . Does the pre-release fixes this issue ? I cant check as no binary for Arch Linux
I tested with the latest continuous (pre)release and still same issue.
And my Applications folder is no longer in a different partition, it's now in my home.
Now:
- Pop!_OS 22.04
- Gnome 42.5
- X11
I'm having this issue, with my applications folder on the same filesystem (never was on a different one) on
Pop!_OS 22.04 Gnome 42.9 X11

It says it's watching my $HOME and my applications directory, but fails to integrate appimages I launch from anywhere except my applications directory, which does work. I get Directories to watch disappeared, unintegrating AppImages formerly found in there
