Hello all,

currently I have the problem to extract one single file in an existing AppImage. My idea is:

1) extract the complete AppImage 2) exchange of the incorrect file 3) reassemble the changed AppImage

With regard to this, I found an hint under

https://wiki.ubuntuusers.de/AppImage/[1]

here extraction of AppImage:

./NAME_OF_FILE.AppImage --appimage-extract

In openSUSE Leap 15.4 this does not work, because there is no package existing, that could carry out the operation.

What to do?

The very first hit of google search for "appimage extract content" lists at least three different ways - did you even try to search? - download appimagetool (which is itself appimage) - use 7z - mount it

Can anyone help?

Kind regards

Michael

Yes, I did a web search and found these two links:

1) https://appimage.github.io/appimagetool/ under releases this link: https://github.com/AppImage/AppImageKit/releases/download/13/appimagetool-x8...

2) https://github.com/AppImage/AppImageKit where I only can download the content as

AppImageKit-master.zip

The downloaded file appimagetool-x86_64.AppImage does not start, although it is executable.

It starts for me on Leap 15.4. You do not describe what you are doing or how you start it, so it is hard to guess what's going wrong. Anyway, you can still extract files with 7-zip.

The downloaded file AppImageKit-master.zip is also not executable.
