![]() ![]() In case that works, the steps above may be considered after creating the appimage file out of the AppDir folder.īut I do not find that necessary, as the AppDir folder is enough for me. To create a single "appimage" out of this directory, one has to use another application, called AppImageAssistant, from the linked address, but that didn't work for me for some reason. (Uninstalled VLC to test the portable version.) In this way it is created a folder containing a portable executable of VLC 2.2 called AppRun, a ready made desktop launcher and a usr directory. Then, in AppDirAssistant window pressed forward ('Postscanning'). That installed 2.2 again given that the necessary sources where already added to the system. When it got to the page that says "Please install your application now", I opened the terminal and ran So, first I uninstalled in Synaptics VLC 2.2 and its dependencies, then ran AppDirAssistant ('Prescanning'). But for that one I didn't have a portable version. Here is a youtube video exemplifying the process.Īfter following the steps that I presented above in order to create a launcher for the portable 2.1 VLC and to make it default player, I thought best to just install the main stable release (now 2.1.5) in the normal way and use the later 2.2 (that I needed for a VLC addon that doesn't work with 2.1.x) as portable. The idea is that it can run a scan of your system before and after installing a program and then create a portable application (appimage) of that program. It is called AppDirAssistant and it is itself portable. How to create new portable versions of VLCĪt the link above ( ) one can find also an application designed to help create portable apps in a few steps. (Setting 'open with' directly to the appimage does not work.) ![]() To make that portable VLC version default player for some video file type, select the file's properties and change the default program for that ('open with') to the launcher (.desktop file) that you just created. You may copy that in /usr/share/applications, ~/.local/share/application or anywhere else. ![]() Than save the file with a name like VLC 2.1 sktop.

The simplest way is to copy/paste lines from a pre-existing VLC desktop file if present in /usr/share/applications. To create a launcher for that can be useful: Some portable linux apps here including VLC 2.1.2 圆4.
