Summary0002987: FreeCAD should recognize when it's been built as an appimage
DescriptionCurrently running AppImage on Manjaro 17.0
OS: "Manjaro Linux"
Word size of OS: 64-bit
Word size of FreeCAD: 64-bit
Version: 0.17.10600 (Git)
Build type: None
Branch: master
Hash: 4d9169faf778e9716fc647fb3fcf46462b5d99a4
Python version: 2.7.6
Qt version: 4.8.6
Coin version: 4.0.0a
OCC version: 7.1.0

IMO Built type: should say 'AppImage' instead of 'None' (this is reserved for 'stable' and 'debug' builds. So then possibly appending AppImage to the Version: field ?

Could look like this:
OS: "Manjaro Linux"
Word size of OS: 64-bit
Word size of FreeCAD: 64-bit
Version: 0.17.10600 (Git) AppImage
Build type: None
Branch: master
Hash: 4d9169faf778e9716fc647fb3fcf46462b5d99a4
Python version: 2.7.6
Qt version: 4.8.6
Coin version: 4.0.0a
OCC version: 7.1.0

 Looks like somewhere in the appimage configuration it needs to set the CMake flag ${CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE} to 'appimage'. Just an educated guess. there needs to be a way to indicate a new variable to be shown.

@triplus do you mind weighing in on this?

This would be great to have before the 0.17 release.

What is the output of this when FreeCAD is built as AppImage?

import os
os.environ["APPIMAGE"]

When I run that code snippet in the console I get:

>>> import os
>>> os.environ["APPIMAGE"]
'/home/foo/Downloads/FreeCAD_0.17.13247.glibc2.17-x86_64.AppImage'

Thanks! All what I wanted to know is that the env. variable APPIMAGE is really set. Its actual value is irrelevant.
