Just a heads-up;

I just installed CentOS 7 x64 on a test machine to try stuff out at work.
Went to openshot.org to download Openshot, and noticed they now have
appimages.
Just chmod +x the appimage-file and run it.

Worked like a charm on C7!
It was really fast as well, compared to running the previous version on
CentOS 6.

I might have to upgrade to CentOS 7 at home too... 8-}

Very nice, it probably has to do with http://appimage.org/
So the appimage did not work on EL6?

Anyway, hope to see more apps like this. :-)
Big win for the users usability wise, not sure how security will be impacted.

You tell me.
In any case, I'm not that used to apps that "just work" while
working with
linux!

I too hope to see more of this, especially on those softwares with
dependencies that are sometimes hard to fulfill.
