Hi Friends,
I am using linuxdeploy[1] with qt plugin[2] to generate AppImages for my Qt Apps. It is the succesor of linuxdeployqt. Now linuxdeploy supports Qt6 too.

It is a known issue with AppImages that they don't have Application icon for the AppImage itself due to it is not "installed". There is a solution installing a daemon called appimaged, but in my opinion requiring such a daemon to be preinstalled defeats the philosophy of One App = One File. So I have created a small script to convert any AppImage into a self installing executable which "install" the AppImage with Icon and launcher. You can use it if you want: build-installer.py[3]
