Cleanest way to maintain AppImage installations?

I have installed Bitwarden through its AppImage, and added a .desktop file to run it easily (and also to use a themed icon). Unfortunately, each time an update comes out, I need to manually update the file since it points directly to the older version

is there anything that can be done about this? I know of AppImageLauncher but I don't like it, I'd rather install the Flatpak for Bitwarden if that's the only solution. Another possible approach would be to have a script continuously running in the background, checking if the file Exec points to still exists.. but that imho is not very clean.
Do you have any insight?

  • Not to be that person but I'm curious what made you go with AppImage over Flatpak, given that you already mentioned using the Flatpak as an alternative ^^"
