appimageinfo's Issues

AppImage architecture detection

appimage-info relies on libbfd from binutils to guess the architecture of the AppImage files.
As the list of architectures is quite long (enough to fill 50MiB) we will only support the "most common" ones.
If you find that your AppImage file architecture is not being properly guessed. Please fill a bug providing a download link for further testing.

Categories= missing in desktop file

The desktop file is lacking a Categories= entry in the *.desktop file.

According to the menu spec,

By including one of the Main Categories in an application's desktop entry file, the application will be ensured that it will show up in a section of the application menu dedicated to this category. If multiple Main Categories are included in a single desktop entry file, the entry may appear more than once in the menu.

Hence, please add at least one of the following in the Categories= key.

Main Category Description Notes
AudioVideo Application for presenting, creating, or processing multimedia (audio/video)
Audio An audio application Desktop entry must include AudioVideo as well
Video A video application Desktop entry must include AudioVideo as well
Development An application for development
Education Educational software
Game A game
Graphics Application for viewing, creating, or processing graphics
Network Network application such as a web browser
Office An office type application
Science Scientific software
Settings Settings applications Entries may appear in a separate menu or as part of a "Control Center"
System System application, "System Tools" such as say a log viewer or network monitor
Utility Small utility application, "Accessories"

In addition, you could specify one or more from the longer list of Additional Categories.

Please test the result with desktop-file-validate and make sure it passes.

Expose data by means of funtions calls

Current implementation force clients to parse a JSON formatted blob to get the AppImage data.
In certain scenarios only a limited set of this data is required or including a JSON parser will imply unrequired software bloat.

Therefore a more C friendly API should be provided.

.zsync file is missing on GitHub Releases

.zsync file is missing on GitHub Releases for AppImageUpdate file is missing on GitHub Releases for AppImageUpdate. linuxdeployqt used to produce one automagically...

Move to the appimage github project

@probonopd I would like you to review the project in order to move it into the AppImage org.
@TheAssassin already suggested to rename the lib to libappimageinfo and the cli command to libappimageinfotool.
I actually don't think that the "tool" sufix is required.

Output YAML

Would it be possible to output YAML instead of and/or in addition to JSON?
