---

AppImage made using [sharun](https://github.com/VHSgunzo/sharun), which makes it extremely easy to turn any binary into a portable package without using containers or similar tricks. 

**This AppImage bundles everything and should work on any linux distro, even on musl based ones.**

It is possible that this appimage may fail to work with appimagelauncher, I recommend these alternatives instead: 

* [AM](https://github.com/ivan-hc/AM) `am -i gnome-calculator` or `appman -i gnome-calculator`

* [dbin](https://github.com/xplshn/dbin) `dbin install gnome-calculator.appimage`

* [soar](https://github.com/pkgforge/soar) `soar install gnome-calculator`

This appimage works without fuse2 as it can use fuse3 instead, it can also work without fuse at all thanks to the [uruntime](https://github.com/VHSgunzo/uruntime)

## Known quirks

- Search-provider integration works only on Gnome (same as upstream) & it depends on:

  - the desktop file being present (which AppImage managers like `soar` & `am` already take care of).  

    Desktop file needs to be named `org.gnome.Calculator.desktop` for it to work.  

    The only exception is the detection for desktop file `gnome-calculator-AM.desktop` in local directories, which is added as a support for `am` AppImage manager.

  - the `XDG_DATA_DIRS` variable having the `XDG_DATA_HOME` in path, which the AppImage will detect if not present + warn about & suggest the solution.

  - This operation won't be performed if search integration files already exist in `/usr/share/` or `/usr/local/share/`, as it's assumed that the packager and/or system-administrator already handled that integration to the system. Modifying `XDG_DATA_DIRS` in that case is not needed.

- If you use AppImage portable folders feature, you didn't manually integrate search-provider to the system & you want to use the search-provider functionality, than only use portable `appimage-filename.config` folder to make the functionality work.

  - If you want to clean `$HOME` after uninstallation, besides regular application dotfiles, you also need to remove the files below, which are used for search-provider integration:

    - `${XDG_DATA_HOME}/gnome-shell/search-providers/org.gnome.Calculator-search-provider.ini`

    - `${XDG_DATA_HOME}/dbus-1/services/org.gnome.Calculator.SearchProvider.service`
