Taking a second look, it seems that they extract the AppImage only to copy over the desktop file and icon, which I overlooked.

I modified it according to your feedback and just copied over the AppImage over to /usr/bin. Thanks for the feedback!

Hi @Samueru , The extracted appimage version does require dotnet to exist in the system, the pinta executable/script directly calls the system's dotnet runtime.

The decision to extract the appimage is based on following the same practices as other appimage-based AUR packages, such as drawio-desktop-appimage and todoist-appimage.

If you want the unextracted appimage, you could simply download it from upstream.

Hi, the appimage of pinta does not require any dependency on to host to work, the only requirements are a shell in /bin/sh and write access to /tmp. It works even on a bare alpine linux container.

I also dont think it is a good idea to extract it. It should just be renamed as pinta and put in /usr/bin
