  • Version: 1.4.1
  • Target: Linux

Even if I have specified the productName both in my app package.json and in the development package.json, the generated binaries have name-version-arch.AppImage format. Is there a way to customize this pattern? Having a way of doing this consistently across all platforms would be ideal.

Last, thanks a lot for electron-builder, it's such a great tool! ❤️

I am afraid that it is not safe to use space in the AppImage file name for now. Root issue (doesn't work at all if space in the name) fixed, but I am not yet sure that all possible bugs are fixed.

So, please wait a week or so — I will investigate is it possible to use space in the file name again or not.

Yeah, the AppImage build doesn't seem to be using the right executable name :-(

@saghul @dperetti is this still an issue?

artifactName is supported for AppImage in the next release. By default nothing changed, but you want — you can customize artifact name on your own risk. Maybe decision will be reconsidered later, but not now.
