in fact I summarize the "..." I think that @soniabu knows the rest for which I think should not be modified in the .desktop so the essence of what I think is around the image and not the rest which for me is not to be modified (therefore specified above)...
I think that --appimage-mount is more useful than --appimage-extract since it only requires a single file (so as not to overload an HDD unnecessarily), so the manipulation will be linphone.appimage --appimage-mount /pathmntfolder
and just extract the logo png
rename it (if ecessary), and move it to the right folder
is it clearer :roll: ?
I could also be wrong :oops:

Yes, I know about the --appimage options, but if that has anything to do with sonia's issue I'm not sure, let's see.

Thanks guys for all this help but the incident hasn't happened again for about four days - I only performed an update/upgrade once.
Furthermore I only inserted four applications in the bottom panel - and nor six like I did before - and when I restart I find them in their place.
So for the moment I'm satisfied like this and don't bother you anymore.
If I'll encounter any more problems I'll squawking like a goose! :mrgreen:

A strange thing happens with Application launch bar after I created the '.desktop' for AppImage.
After choosing the five favorite applications (of which two are AppImages) at the next boot - occasionally - I find no more than one or two icons of the five choices.
If I open the Application launch bar I see that the others that do not appear are replaced by icons with the question mark and that I cannot remove.
To be able to remove them I must first remove the Application Launch bar; add it again and rebuild the application preferences.
Then when I restart (occasionally) I still find a couple of icons with the correct symbol and the others the same as before.
My gratitude to those who can explain this mystery to me.
sonia --- as soon as the mystery arises, I'll show you the image.

here missing on this occasion:
Simple Python server; Calibre AppImage

I solved the 'panel setting' problem described above by doing:

  • delete the previous setting;
  • new panel setting.
    Now, instead of question marks, the correct application icons appear.
