Just a minor suggestion I forgot to mentione:<br>
<br>
The file <b>README.appimag</b>e works fine to read with cat (cli),
but I experienced that usual dual mouse-click on it in a GUI file
browser (Gnome Files) can't open it, because is recognized to be of
file type Appimage (which it isn't).<br>
<br>
I rather renamed it to <b>README_appimage.txt</b> or optionally
just <b>README_appimage</b> which both worked the usual gui way 😉<br>

Now I have also tried the /GUI method/ to download, Run And
Integrate <br>
Cinelerra AppImage with installed *AppImageLauncher*.<br>
On openSUSE Leap 15.3 (and surely similar on other distros) <br>
AppImageLauncher is integrated with Firefox as follows:<br>
<br>
1) start download the AppImage file, and a widget popup in
Firefox <br>
with the option to open it with AppImageLauncher (instead of
Saving it)<br>
2) At the end of the download a new popup asks to integrate
it with <br>
your desktop system. OK<br>
<br>
--------------------------------<br>
<br>
(The AppImage installation directory is /home/user/Application
by <br>
default, but can be customized in the Launcher widget)<br>
<br>
<br>
That's it. Both *Cin* and *Cin-multi* were installed this way,
automatic <br>
integrated with icons and in the app-menue in Gnome,<br>
see the attached screenshot AppImage.png and urls to articles
for <br>
detailed info below.<br>
<br>
I have used *alacarte* to add the icon comment sub-text to
*Cin-multi* <br>
for multiple bit version.the icon, as also mentioned in a
previous post<br>
