AppImage - Include auto-updating logic in to appimage directly?

[Kunda1]

Thanks for testing and the feedback. I added a message at the end of the log if no new appimage is available. Should be included in the next available appimage.

AppImage Updated successfully from Preferences control panel UI!
Thanks for sticking with FreeCAD looo!

Please add what this means. Still the same message as above?

I tested the latest state (21514) and it worked for me. Only problem I have seen so far: If "always check for updates" is enabled the log is also shown when no new appimage is available which is not by design.

Yes, I still get the same message. What conditions does it need to work?

I get this message when checking for updates:

I can confirm that the updateprocess within freecad does not work if you use the appimageLauncher. Maybe @antonyjr can give some insights.

I guess this is a different kind of issue and related to the theme. Somehow the button is not displayed. Maybe I should create the buttons all manually and not combine a QDialogButtonBox with an additional button. Let's try this:
