Install from snap store

I'm running Ubuntu 20.04 LTS. I tried installing AppEditor using flatpak. Upon installation, flatpak also pulls the GNOME desktop packages (see my comment on #86). Installation completes successfully, but when I try to use AppEditor, it only shows .desktop files that are installed from flatpak, so it's kinda useless for me. So, I uninstalled the flatpak version, then I cloned the GitHub repo and compiled from source. Now it works perfectly!

It would be nice if AppEditor is also available via the Snap store, especially for novice Ubuntu users that aren't comfortable yet with compiling software from source.

I am 3 years late to this but it may help other poeple. You can try to allow the app to acces you user/.local/applications folder so it can change those too. Use flatseal like in the screeshot and add it in the other files space. Then restart it

Exemple here:

Sorry it's in French tho

Not 100% sure that it would work as I use the rpm package.
