[feature request] Add Icon Image to AppImage

[cs-mshah]

I am using AppImageLauncher to manage my AppImages on Ubuntu. It automatically generates a desktop entry and moves the AppImage to a specified application folder. The AppImage for Stacer doesn't have an icon and it becomes hard to find it in the applications.

It would be great if the icon is added to the AppImage and the version name is excluded, to have a better look in the applications menu

Try this.

./Stacer-1.1.0-x64.AppImage --appimage-extract
./squashfs-root/stacer.png

Put stacer.png into /opt or /home/USER/opt where ever the app is, doesn't really matter

/home/USER/.local/bin/share/applications/stacer.desktop --- edit this file if exist
/usr/share/applications/stacer.desktop -- edit this file if exist

[Desktop Entry] - Put under this
Icon=/opt/stacer.png or Icon=/home/USER/opt/stacer.png

when you save and close file, and check the stacer.desktop icon file it should show the icon
if not chmod +x stacer.desktop

Hope this helps
