App image for Autostart or other solution

vonfrosta

Hi I'm pretty new to Linux and especially Solus Budgie. I'm currently trying to setup everything. I want to use an app called Espanso. I've downloaded the app image and was able to start it. Now I'm a bit confused if it is possible to get this kind of app image to autostart, since I do need this program everytime for work. Thanks in advance.

Regards Lars

describes the exact method and what to write to launch your appimage. not super hard. welcome to Budgie and Solus forum

the first step I think I omitted.
rightclick on the appimage file and go to permissions and give yourself permission to read and right and click execute at bottom. then close

budgie desktop settings in menu

click the plus sign. add command.
make autostart find your appimage.
doesn't matter what you put in first two field. just the bottom command field.
for me: /home/brent/Downloads/buttercupblahblah.appimage
you should see the entry in autotart. reboot and see what happens
