AppImage made using sharun and its wrapper quick-sharun, which makes it easy and reliable to turn any binary into a portable package without using containers or similar tricks.

This AppImage bundles everything and it should work on any Linux distro, including old and musl-based ones.

This AppImage doesn't require FUSE to run at all, thanks to the uruntime.

This AppImage is also supplied with the seamless self-updater by default, so any updates to this application won't be missed.
Self-updater doesn't run if AppImage managers like am or soar exist, which manage AppImage integration and updates.
There is also a prompt and config for opting-out of self-updates if desired.

• Picking colors only works if the screenshot freedesktop portal is installed on the host (same as upstream).
• Global keyboard shortcut also depends on freedesktop portal and it doesn't work (at least on Gnome, KDE and other DEs are not tested)
• 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 com.github.finefindus.eyedropper.desktop for it to work.
    The only exception is the detection for desktop file eyedropper-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 the AppImage portable folders feature, those 2 files are made in host's ${HOME}, which you can delete on app removal:
    • ${XDG_DATA_HOME}/gnome-shell/search-providers/com.github.finefindus.eyedropper.search-provider.ini
    • ${XDG_DATA_HOME}/dbus-1/services/com.github.finefindus.eyedropper.SearchProvider.service
  • When you click the color code entry to copy the code, it will copy it, but the notification about it won't show
