Nixos requires AppImages to be run with appimage-run
Can the option be added to use this interpreter for launching an app?

mijorus commented

I'll work on it

I have a development build right here, but it's not working for me as the appimage-run utility is available only inside the same terminal session.
How does it work on nix os? I don't know this OS, sorry

flatpak install --user https://dl.flathub.org/build-repo/113859/it.mijorus.gearlever.flatpakref

appimage-run gets installed as a system package.
You can add the package appimage-run to the configuration file or install it with

nix-env -iA nixos.appimage-run

then

appimage-run ./ondsel.appimage &

Can you try this development version and see if it works for you?
