Allow AppDirs to be treated as AppImages in what respect to desktop integration and introspection. This would be great to improve unit-testing and could potentially open a new way of having AppImages on the system.

@probonopd @TheAssassin any thoughts ?

Great idea, although I would hope that file managers gain native support for AppDirs. Like ROX-Filer has had for ages.

Not a fan of it. Just makes things complicated IMO.

Also be careful about your naming. AppDirs are AppDirs, not an AppImage type. The terms should never be mixed up, that just confuses everybody.

An AppDir is what is contained inside an AppImage. It has existed long before AppImage.
