Is it possible to launch the appimages with some parameter or other trick to make them use different folders of symbols, templates, drawings?

Yes !

By example : If I want to use new folder "test-0.5" in my HOME QET directory, you need to add argument  --config-dir=   to your AppImage.

./QElectroTech_0.5-x86_64.AppImage --config-dir=/home/laurent/.qet/test-0.5/

Or If you want to use other common collection (--common-elements-dir argument) :

./QElectroTech_0.5-x86_64.AppImage --common-elements-dir=/home/laurent/0.5-test/




You could also extract Appimage and change QET arguments in AppRun file.
https://github.com/AppImage/AppImageKit … -AppImages

./QElectroTech_0.5-x86_64.AppImage --appimage-extract

/squashfs-root$ cat AppRun 
#! /bin/sh

cd $(dirname $(readlink -f $0))/usr/bin/
exec ./qelectrotech --common-elements-dir=../share/elements/ --common-tbt-dir=../share/titleblocks/ --lang-dir=../share/lang/ $@

Re: Appimage and/or flatpack to replace some distro specifik packagings?

Wonderful, thanks nomicons/smile 

1) Maybe you could copy or link that informations at the appimage download page?  (and later in some manual...) plus a link to https://appimage.org/ where users can learn about appimage, how to run it, and they may want to use firejail.

2) I see you have added appimage links to 0.6 and 0.7 versions at https://qelectrotech.org/download.html . You can also add one for 0.5.

3) Now you can get the news out and attract more users by getting it listed where Appimages are listed. I know of https://bintray.com/probono/AppImages , https://appimage.github.io/apps/ , maybe there are more places.

Re: Appimage and/or flatpack to replace some distro specifik packagings?

Thanks.  I am sure it if of interest to many.  Maybe you could even put such procedures on the wiki?

Myself is on a kind of computer diet period.  Instead, i do much mechanic work and practical watering, hands-on-controls repair, repairing a tractor and such things currently. nomicons/smile

Owen Taylor travaille sur l’infrastructure de Fedora pour apporter de quoi construire des applications Flatpak directement, en parallèle des formats RPM classiques. L’objectif est de faciliter la vie du mainteneur, qui pourra concevoir en une fois la construction des deux formats.

Re: Appimage and/or flatpack to replace some distro specifik packagings?

Tried to update the QET AppImg file, but it seems it isn't ready for that mechanism yet. So

Could not find update information in the AppImage. Please contact the author of the AppImage and ask them to embed update information.

consider yourself contacted and asked. ;-)

When there is time...

Not at this time.

I have to study the documentation for this and adapt my script and or repository?

Re: Appimage and/or flatpack to replace some distro specifik packagings?

For flatpak:

1) Is there a way to specify version?  It seems only development version is available?

2) I suppose that like for Appimage, i can add to the launch command the options --common-elements-dir= and --config-dir=  ?

Yes only development version is available on my repo.

For 0.8 version see https://github.com/flathub/flathub/pull/2146

Re: Appimage and/or flatpack to replace some distro specifik packagings?

Great nomicons/smile

Quick test OK on my workstation:  Mageia 7 64 bit Plasma, Xorg nvidia-current
Works: New drawing, save, close program, launch again, open, export pdf.

Printing fail: no printer in list to select!  (workaround: export pdf)
(FreeCAD installed on same system list printers and can print)

Sidenotes:  It would be positive:
§ if the saved file contian program name and ULI to project home page nomicons/smile
§ make sure file save name ends in ".qet"
§ make sure saved pdf name ends in ".pdf"

Flatpak user question:
I fail to see how to launch the 0.9 version still installed - listed by "flatpak list", but same Program ID.
