[Github-comments] [geany/geany] Feature request: Please provide an AppImage for Geany (#1303)

[Enrico Tröger]

A few comments before adding it to the website:
- when running on ArchLinux I get:
```
zenity, kdialog, Xdialog missing. Skipping ./bin//geany.wrapper.
/tmp/.mount_3N7xOv/usr/bin/geany: error while loading shared libraries: libselinux.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
```
As a user I wouldn't expect I need SELinux for running Geany. Though not a strong opinion on this.

- the description on the website https://bintray.com/fusion809/AppImages/Geany/ tells "A lightweight, open-source IDE". If it all, it should be "Free Software" not "open-source", please
- also in the description, it should read "Geany and Geany-Plugins". Not that the uppercase matters much but it reads nicer to me (but I'm not a native speaker, so @elextr might correct me here)
- looking inside the archive, I noticed the only plugin from Geany-Plugins is GeanyPy; all other plugins are missing in lib/geany however usr/share/doc/geany-plugins knows about much more plugins which are not actually included; see the archive contents at http://pastebin.geany.org/TDiF5/
- if you want to distribute the plugins together, you might consider installing some more dependencies, at least easy dependencies, I don't suggest things like WebKitGTK or so

To put it on the website, I'd wish a little more love given to the package.
@fusion809 do you think you will continue providing such images also in the future? We have Geany releases every four months, so ideally you would update the image then as well.
