Description
Describe the feature and the current behavior/state
Using a tool like AppImageUpdate to update the AppImage file of TexStudio to the latest version is not possible at the moment, and it would be nice to be able to do it in the future.
Who will benefit with this feature?
Anyone relying on the AppImage to use TexStudio.
Any Other info
As far as I understand, the developers may enable automatic update of their AppImage according to this guide.

Research direction
