Thanks for an incredible tool! I am thinking of using it for the game Oolite which was recently published on FlatHub and the Windows Store. It is also available as an AppImage, but I've struggled with the old dependencies from building on Ubuntu 22.04.
I see your tool outputs a wrappe executable which looks like a great format, but I've also noticed there hasn't been any activity on the repo for a couple of years: https://github.com/Systemcluster/wrappe. I see your fork a few commits ahead. Are you planning to take over maintenance? If not, would it be better to focus on AppImage?
One thing that wrappe misses is an environment variable for the location of the original executable. As I understand it, there is WRAPPE_LAUNCH_DIR (inherited working directory similar to AppImage env var CWD) and WRAPPE_UNPACK_DIR (where the temporary extracted files are located, similar to env var APPDIR). If I launch my wrappe executable in folder A from another folder B, then WRAPPE_LAUNCH_DIR will be folder B. I need folder A to enable finding the game's user data (similar to finding the folder from the APPIMAGE env var). I was going to create an issue for this at Systemcluster/wrappe, but noticed the lack of activity there.
Please can you let me know what you know of the status of wrappe so I can decide whether to use it or go for a universal AppImage instead probably following these instructions: https://github.com/pkgforge-dev/Anylinux-AppImages/blob/main/HOW-TO-MAKE-THESE.md.
