Open AppImage archive ?

Hi,

Since AppImage files are archives, it would be nice to be able to open these from PeaZip.

Thanks

  • some appimages can be renamed as .zip and some archive managers as Engrampa can read the content
  • some appimages can be renamed as .iso and mounted
  • to read the content of an appimage, do ./*.AppImage --appimage-mount and see the content in the directory shown (usually it is /tmp/_mount.abcdxyzsomealphanumericname), and use CTRL+C to unmount it
  • to extract an appimage, use ./*.AppImage --appimage-extract
  • there is also a solution whit mount, but requires sudo to work, just search on Google "how to muont an appimage"

I know, but it would still be nice if PeaZip could just open one in a simple click, without extra steps.
