2.Also, the name of the window when I hover over it in the dock shows up as "My-app", although I want it to be the same as the title in the window frame, "My App".
How do I fix this?

The .desktop file does not contain a commit hash (you can inspect it by doing ./my-app.AppImage --appimage-mount and then cding into the dir it mounts to), so i have no idea where the hash comes from 🤔 probably forgot something simple here
can you open an issue for problem 2 tho? should be an easy fix hopefully

The .desktop file does _not_ contain a commit hash (you can inspect it by doing ...
I see in the desktop file
X-AppImage-Version=066e9eb
I think this is what is causing the commit hash to show up in the app name, but I looked at the tauri configuration reference and did not find an option to stop this from being included in the app name.

weird, this is not in the desktop file on my end, but i also don't have appimagelauncher on my system so maybeee that's related?
frank shoal
I can try booting up a VM without appimagelauncher to see if that could be causing the issue
vivid jasper
ah sorry, looked at the wrong desktop file
but it's also not set from tauri, so it's something from the appimage tools doing it
looks like appimagetool is looking for the VERSION env var, which tauri also doesn't set iirc
- Also, if VERSION is not set and -g is called and if git is on the path, use
- git rev-parse --short HEAD

Hmm, I tried running cargo tauri build -b appimage with VERSION=1.1.0 and the desktop file did have
X-AppImage-Version=1.1.0
, but the app name in the activities view now shows up as my_app (1)
https://github.com/AppImage/AppImageKit/issues/662 I found the related issue, it seems to be a feature of appimagelauncher if there is an X-AppImage-Version. I understand why this behavior would be nice, but it's not what I want for my app right now. I think that there should be a configuration option in Tauri that allows you to disable adding X-AppImage-Version to the desktop file. In addition, if X-AppImage-Version is enabled, it should be setting the VERSION env var to the version already specified in the Tauri configuration, to avoid adding a commit hash to the app name.

Yeah i think so too, that's why i looked into it in the first place, but the problem is that it's outside of our control, no matter what we do it looks like the appimage tools always falls back to something unless we actually specify a version.
I agree with setting VERSION to the app version tho
vivid jasper
did you try setting VERSION="" ?
frank shoal
No, I'm trying that now
The desktop file now has X-AppImage-Version=, and the app name is now my_app (1)
vivid jasper
sad, i hoped appimaged/appimagelauncher wouldn't fall back to some version if x-appimage-version is set but empty :/
