Krita appimage, https://krita.org/en/download/, https://download.kde.org/stable/krita/5.2.3/krita-5.2.3-x86_64.appimage is not extracted.

--l lists files correctly but --appimage-extract create only empty squashfs-root folder.

Latest AppImage used.

Cannot reproduce, 52397 items get extracted:

wget https://download.kde.org/stable/krita/5.2.3/krita-5.2.3-x86_64.appimage
chmod + krita-5.2.3-x86_64.appimage
chmod +x krita-5.2.3-x86_64.appimage
./krita-5.2.3-x86_64.appimage --appimage-extract
find squashfs-root/ | wc -l

Ok, that proves everything. My steps were:

wget "https://github.com/AppImage/AppImageKit/releases/download/continuous/appimagetool-x86_64.AppImage"
chmod a+x appimagetool-x86_64.AppImage
appimagetool-x86_64.AppImage --appimage-extract krita-5.2.3-x86_64.appimage

It works as you said.

Ah, you tried to use appimagetool to extract another AppImage. The syntax for that would be TARGET_APPIMAGE=krita-5.2.3-x86_64.appimage ./appimagetool-x86_64.AppImage --appimage-extract, but what I posted above is easier and also works if the different AppImages use different runtimes or compressions.
