minus-square@BrianTheeBiscuiteerlink20•1 year agoIf you’re taking a manual approach I would use a symlink: $ ln -s /path/to/stuff/Bitwarden.1.0.7.appimage /path/to/stuff/Bitwarden.appimage Then you can hang on to a previous version just in case, plus you can see from the original filename what version you’re on.
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink2•edit-21 year agoHappy to hear if there are glaring problems with this approach, but if you can assume files named with version numbers, you can use a script to always launch the newest… #!/bin/bash cd ~/Downloads chmod +x $(ls | grep Appname.*AppImage$ | sort -rV | head -n 1) ./$(ls | grep Appname.*AppImage$ | sort -rV | head -n 1) Or you could change the script to sort by file modified date and launch the newest. edit: Discovered an issue with version numbering like .10 and learned about the sort -V switch that fixes it!
