Add .desktop file for DE integration about upscayl

[artogahr]

So I get you aren't considering offering binary builds, just AppImages and Flatpaks? And also for Flathub you're going to need to include a desktop file anyway, no?

So my proposal is this:
When a .desktop file is included, I write a script inside the PKGBUILD for the AUR that extracts the .desktop file from the AppImage, and modifies it to run the symlinked binary to the AppImage file. How does that sound?

End result:
Arch user installs "upscayl-appimage" package from the AUR, and Upscayl is available to them in their app launcher.

You can use DeskCut for this too ;)

We're launching soon on Flathub so .desktop won't be an issue. As for AppImage, using AppImage launcher is recommended :)

Yeah you can do it for the Arch build, no problem :)

Okay, I don't know much about Flatpaks so I'll wait for you guys to implement a .desktop file then. Thanks
