Description
AppImages are usually installed at some random location in $HOME so they are difficult to count:
- Is there an efficient way to count AppImages installed in home directories?
- We can at least count the AppImages in
/opt/appimages, where AppImages provided by the AUR are usually installed.

Research direction
No file or test is named. Start by locating the AppImage discovery or counting entry point, then inspect how paths under /opt/appimages and home directories could be searched. Done means the tool reports an accurate AppImage count, including the explicitly requested /opt/appimages location, with an efficient approach for home directories.
