Hello,

This is a concrete proposal about #11 (comment).
I did some tests to fix #11, and with these changes, EOG successfully opens when started by Czkawka AppImage.

You've found exactly why using $LD_LIBRARY_PATH is not a good idea. Same goes for any environment variable. The moment an external application needs to be run, it'll break.

The solution you proposed is basically a bad hack. Many other tools, e.g., AppImageBuilder, and some KDE thing, rather preload a library with LD_PRELOAD which resets the environment variables. The advantage is that this is way more reliable than exclude-listing a bunch of binaries. Perhaps linuxdeploy should build such a tool, too, that could then be included?

Ok, I understand.
appimage-exec-wrapper seems to be a part of https://github.com/AppImageCrafters/AppRun now.

But Czkawka is written in Rust, and there is no exec() or something like that in this case. I have no knowledge in Rust, so I have no idea what linuxdeploy should intercept.
