Good news — we've added exactly what you asked for. Soplos AppImage Manager now has the option to copy the AppImage instead of moving it, so you can keep the original file in your synced folder untouched while still integrating it into the menu.

Update to the latest version and you'll see the option when adding an AppImage. Thanks again for the suggestion!

Thank you very much for trying Soplos AppImage Manager and for sharing your feedback.

I understand your use case. The current behavior is designed to move the AppImage into the applications directory, but having an option to clone the AppImage instead would make sense for users who keep their AppImages in a synchronized folder or use the same collection across multiple machines.

I'll take note of this suggestion and consider adding a "copy/clone instead of move" option in a future version.

Thanks again for helping us improve Soplos. Feedback like this is very valuable!
