How to Setup an Appimage as a Startup Application?

Desktop Environments Gnome
2

Not familiar enough with Gnome, but you should have an autostart folder in ~/.config/autostart. If you do, you should just have to create a .desktop file and put it in there.

I use the normal install version of superpaper, here’s my .desktop file for it in autostart:

[Desktop Entry]
Categories=Utility;
Comment[en_US]=
Comment=
Exec=/home/jiibus/.local/bin/superpaper
GenericName[en_US]=Multi-monitor wallpaper manager
GenericName=Multi-monitor wallpaper manager
Icon=superpaper
MimeType=
Name[en_US]=Superpaper
Name=Superpaper
Path=
StartupNotify=true
Terminal=false
TerminalOptions=
Type=Application
Version=1.0
X-DBUS-ServiceName=
X-DBUS-StartupType=
X-KDE-SubstituteUID=false
X-KDE-Username=

Change the Exec line to point it to where you have the AppImage.
