Does this work better then AppImageLauncher?
Hav you tested it?

I can’t comment on if GearLever is better than AppimageLauncher as i have not used AppimageLauncher in a couple years, but I will say GearLever is quite nice.

No, it depends on how the appimage was built by the developers.

So one would need to read the build script?

See reference image:

I have installed Cryptomator over GearLever and initially it didn’t open.
But after I have uninstalled AppImage Launcher, removed Cryptomator, then restarted Linux and re installed Cryptomator with GearLever, its now working and even detects my USB drive.
