Suggestions: using appname as icon name file

[Anifyuli]

Hello!
I'd like to share a small suggestion based on my experience using aim today.
I integrated the ClickUp desktop AppImage into my system, but ran into an unexpected behavior. ClickUp names its AppImage desktop, so aim also named the icon file desktop. This causes the icon to not be detected properly in Kickoff (KDE Plasma's app menu) and appears broken like this.

My workaround was to rename the icon file to clickup and update the Icon= field in the .desktop file accordingly — after that the icon appeared correctly in Kickoff.
Based on this, I'd suggest using the app's Name field (from the AppImage metadata) as the icon filename instead of the AppImage's file stem. In this case, ClickUp instead of desktop.

App info look like this

aim info desktop 
App
Name: ClickUp
ID: desktop
Version: v2603135dev5rzzi
Exec path: /home/anifyuli/.local/share/aim/desktop/desktop.AppImage

This is just a small suggestion — if it's not something you plan to implement, I still appreciate the work you've put into this project. Thanks for developing it!

Hey, thanks for the report and using aim :)

I’ve made a fix here: #2

It makes aim prefer the app metadata name when deriving managed names, so ClickUp should integrate as clickup instead of desktop. It also refreshes KDE’s service cache after integration so Kickoff picks up the updated entry more reliably.
