Is anyone having issues with Gear Lever? It does not work for me. I’m running Bazzite Gnome.
If I try and drag an appimage into Gear Lever it doesn’t do anything.
If I click “Open” and select the app image it doesn’t do anything.
If I manually create the folder “AppImages” and manually place the app image in the folder Gear Lever acts like the image does not exist.
It seems that my issue might be caused by a bug in the 1.6.1 version of Gear Lever as my problem is basically identical to this issue posted to GitHub.

AppImages not showing despite being pointed to the correct directory.

AppImages can still be opened directly from a file explorer, but not from Gear Level.
For every AppImage on the default location this error shows up:
`ERROR [MultiInstall.py:158] [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'strings'
`
When tyring to open an AppImage from Gear Lever this error show up on the logs with debug mode enabled:
```
WARNING [AppImageProvider.py:140] [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'strings'
DEBUG [utils.py:37] Running ['strings', '-d', '-n', '29', '/home/itzco/AppImages/gearlever_anytype_8b5aba.appimage']
```
I don't know what the 'strings' argument on the previous line refers to.
I'm using the flatpak version of Gear Lever with read,write,grant-permissions on the selected folder. Tried repairing the flatpak installation, but nothing changed.
Please let me know if there is anything else I can try or share to solve this. Thanks
I will retest once 1.6.2 gets released.
I can confirm it’s an issue with 1.6.1
I downgraded to 1.6.0 and it’s working correctly. So, if anyone has issues just downgrade to 1.6.0 with the following command and it should work. Wait for 1.6.2 to upgrade.
sudo flatpak update --commit=828b4403f2980992ffb3001c00a506ffde2c42293959cbb7c95d702f83b6a07d it.mijorus.gearlever
