Creating an .appImage : how can one run a binary from a .desktop file?

ke flag

When you build an AppImage, the AppImage actually runs the file inside (or more often a locally installed program) via a .desktop file that the .AppImage also has inside.

What I'm trying to run isn't an installed application but a binary I have in a folder.

the usual trick is to exec bash or sh in order to execute the binary.

I do not have the luxury of that trick because of the context of how AppImage works.

what other options exits? How do I point to and run a binary from a .desktop file?

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
