Which works, but I just now looked at .profile, and found that when I
looked at my $PATH, AppImage was not being added. I had several months
ago, created a $HOME/AppImages directory to store them in.
It worked well for that, but wasn't being added to my $PATH. Seem like it
might be handy if it was.
It was easier to add the missing 's' those two places in my .profile than
it was to fix all the links that would need to be fixed as I have plural
AppImages in that location now..
Now any bash shell that doesn't have the right $PATH seems to be fixable
by a ". $HOME/.profile".
Those of you with multiple users might want to become root and fix the
copy in /etc/skel so new users are also blessed. But you'll need to add
the whole if/fi stanza to it. It was missing in my copy here. And I just
checked a buster install, which didn't have it.
Was there a valid reason its not? Or is the idea too new?
