Save your data when reinstalling AppImages
This minor update is a completion of version 10.4.
As anticipated in the previous release, the backup for portable AppImage directories introduced in the relocate option has been extended to the reinstall option.
When using the -H option (which creates a .home directory), -C (for the .config directory), or -CH (for both) you had the option to isolate your dotfiles in a dedicated AppImage directory, the reinstall option (and, until the previous release, the relocate option) removed everything when reinstalling the application, causing loss of such data.
This issue has been completely resolved! These directories are now first saved to a directory in $SCRIPTDIR (commonly XDG_DESKTOP_DIR, also known as ~/Desktop, or alternatively $HOME as a fallback), and then copied back to the reinstalled app's directory, preserving all your configurations from before the reinstallation.
I repeat, "copied," so you can keep a duplicate copy in case you need it.
