Hey, I noticed that updating the shadps4 AppImage on Linux ignores that you renamed it and it doesn't respect your location, where you placed it and pulls the new AppImage into /home.

Would be awesome if shadps4 respects the rename.
And in case of an update uses the rename and places it in the same location.
the old AppImage could just get a .old as suffix, like other AppImages and Emulators do it. Or just a checkbox "Keep old" / "Delete old"

This would avoid breaking .desktop files and launch scripts as well as manual user intervention.
