Appimage Issue Resolution

The AppImage version of Anchor has problems with certain Linux distributions. If it's possible to install Anchor using the .deb version instead of the AppImage, that would be a potentially easier fix.  

However, if you'd prefer to stay with the AppImage version, it can be fixed by editing a hidden file in your home folder. Here are the instructions:

If you navigate to this folder (which may be hidden):

/home/USERNAME/.local/share/applications

You'll find a file that looks something like:

appimagekit_HASH_anchor.desktop

This file needs to be edited and should be able to open with any text editor. Look for the line that starts with "Exec=" which is what tells the OS where the AppImage file is. 

At the very end of this line, add a single space and then "%U" (without the quotes).

Save that file and relaunch Anchor, and it should begin handling those requests properly. 

There's a Github issue you can reference here regarding the issue which goes over the same steps and has a couple screenshots:
