Any reason Gear Lever is officially tied to flatpak? Seems to kind of defeat the whole purpose for using AppImages.

If you already explained that somewhere, would you be so kind as to point me there?
Thanks.

Instructions? Now that's asking a lot!

Mainly make sure that you have all the files that you want to parse highlighted in Sigil's Book Browser before launching the plugin. It only runs on those that are preselected. The rest I've just honestly not never been asked for an explanation for.

It looks like a lot of forward-facing language is being changed to note that Gear Lever is primarily for AppImage "installation" now. It just seems odd that the official download for an AppImage Installation Manager is a Flatpak from Flathub.

The Arch AUR version of Gear Lever doesn't seem to require any of the usual Flatpak bloat to build/install it, though, so maybe I'll take a peek. There's at least one dependency that's only available via the AUR, though. That's a strike against it. I generally try to stay away from the AUR unless it's something I really, really want/need. But an AUR package that has other AUR dependencies is bit farther down the rabbit hole than I like to go.
