user installable version for linux distributions

[stylefish]

method 1:
publish on flathub etc.

method 2:
for people that dont use flathub etc:

it would be nice if we could have an installation file (bash script etc) that would install / update the latest release of clef viewer to ~/.local on linux and create a .desktop file.

in my case its copied to ~/.local/bin

this eco-clefviewer.desktop file is what i'm using:

[Desktop Entry]
Encoding=UTF-8
Version=1.0
Type=Application
NoDisplay=false
Exec=/home/larskoehne/.local/bin/Eco.Clef.Viewer.AppImage
Name=eco CLEF Viewer
Icon=eco-clef-viewer
Comment=view log files in .clef format
StartupWMClass=eco-clefviewer

this should be copied to ~/.local/share/applications

after that the images have to be created, sth like this (could be done one time in and checked into the repo):
needs image magick

#!/bin/bash

if [ -z "$1" ]; then # || [ -z "$2" ]; then
	echo "usage: create-app-icons <path to input file> <icon name>"
	exit 1
fi

imgpath="$HOME/.local/share/icons/hicolor"
for s in `ls "$imgpath"` # 16x16 32x32 ...
do
	p="$imgpath/$s/apps/$2.png"
	magick "$1" -resize "$s" "$p"
	echo " => $p"
done
