+This script file will download to $HOME/bin the latest Continuous Build AppImages for you:
```sh
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/BestImageViewer/geeqie/master/scripts/geeqie-download-appimage.sh

-You should read the contents of the file before running it. The option ```--help``` gives some information about its functions.
-The script downloads both the full size and the minimal versions of the AppIamge, and sets symbolic links to these files.
+The script can download either the full size or the minimal version of the AppIamge, and sets a symbolic link to the executable file. The ```--help``` option lists all options.
The full version takes a noticeable time to load, and runs slightly slower than a normal packaged release.
-The above script has the option ```--extract``` which extracts the contents of the full size AppImage to a local sub-directory.
-If the executable is run from there the loading and run time is the same as for a packaged release.
+The above script has the option ```--extract``` which extracts the contents of either AppImage to a sub-directory under $HOME/bin.
+With this option the loading and run time is the same as for a packaged release.
+
+There are also options to install desktop icons, menu items, and to revert to earlier downloaded versions.
+
+AppImages have a "portable mode" which is described [here](https://docs.appimage.org/user-guide/portable-mode.html).

+**Note:**

+Command line auto-completion does not work with AppImages. If you are using the AppImage `--extract` option, this is a work-around.
+
+Assuming you have extracted the AppImage to `$HOME/bin/Geeqie-latest-x86_64-AppImage/`, create a symbolic link as follows:
+
+```sh
+mkdir --parents $HOME/.local/share/bash-completion/completions/
+ln --symbolic $HOME/bin/Geeqie-latest-x86_64-AppImage/squashfs-root/usr/local/share/bash-completion/completions/geeqie $HOME/.local/share/bash-completion/completions/geeqie
+```
