Previously cmake --install populated both AppDirs with both binaries, causing the batch AppImage (57MB) to be larger than the GUI AppImage (47MB). Add rm lines after the sanity-check block to strip the unwanted binary from each AppDir before linuxdeploy runs. Also prune the upstream GUI desktop files from the batch AppDir (they reference Exec=glabels-qt which is now absent) and supply --icon-file + --icon-filename so --create-desktop-file resolves the icon lookup. Both AppImages now contain only their respective binary (~33-34MB each). Also document the QMAKE=/usr/bin/qmake6 workaround (Debian 13 Qt6 qmake discovery failure in linuxdeploy-plugin-qt).

Important
This repo is for glabels-qt, NOT the legacy glabels-3 version (which I have not maintained since 2018).
What is gLabels-qt?
gLabels-qt is the development version of the next major version of gLabels (a.k.a. glabels-4).
What's new in gLabels 4?
- A complete rewrite, based on the Qt6 framework.
- A new UI layout based on common activities.
- Cross-platform support
- User-defined variables
- Support for continuous-roll labels
- Many new product templates
Download
Latest Release
There are currently no official releases of gLabels 4.
Continuous Integration Snapshots
Currently there are no self-hosted binary snapshot releases available. I plan to make these available again once 4.0 is more imminent. In the mean time, I encourage you to try building the code yourself.
