I need to use QMplay2 .
1--I can't find a debian/devuan package on the internet
2--I have an AppImage, but don't know how to integrate it into the menu, so that peppermint recognises it
Any tips ? ?
Note: QMPlay2 is not < a preference>, but it's a must have .
Thanks

OldTon for that app image you can create a desktop launcher for it.
In general all desktop launchers are located in this path /usr/share/applications
The file you create would be named yourapp.desktop
In that file you want something that looks like this....this is the launcher for the welcome screen
[Desktop Entry]Version=1.0Type=ApplicationName=Welcome to PeppermintExec=python3 welcome_man.pyIcon=/usr/share/pixmaps/peppermint.pngTerminal=falseCategories=SettingsStartupNotify=TrueName[en_US]=Welcome to PeppermintPath=/opt/pypep
That gives you an example how to create one..
Important things to pay attention to is path - where is Appimage located exec - what is the command to open it....... if you were to run the appimage from terminal that is what you put here Categories - that's where you tell it where to go in the Menu
hope that helps you!

I am getting < nowhere > for now.
I have done searches, and all I get is
-- info on appimaged, which isn't in the repos
- info from https://docs.appimage.org/introduction/index.html which is interesting
- and a few more , of which I don't have a clue of what they say
Maybe another day
As far as the sample is concerned, I could't find anything I understand related to commandline.

Is this what you're looking for? I just downloaded the appimage for QMplay2 and integrated it into my system, shows up under Multimedia. I have Appimage launcher installed already and it will integrate any appimage I want since I have clicked on "integrate into the system". Do you have Appimage launcher installed? If you can't find it in synaptic package manager, you can download it as a deb file.

Thanks a thousand times.
I have been looking for things related to < launching appimages > but it never occurred to me to search for a x.deb file. Silly me ! Getting old I suppose.
Yes, I found that file, installed it, and all works OK on first time
Thanks again
