missing option to disable auto update in appimage

[PatrickJRed]

Steps To Reproduce

1. autostart appimage in desktop (Lubuntu 22.04.)
2. it auto updated itself

Expected Result

i downloaded "Bitwarden-2024.6.4-x86_64.AppImage"
it should not auto update or at least ask me if i want to update / give me this option

Actual Result

i downloaded
Bitwarden-2024.6.4-x86_64.AppImage
but it now says
Bitwarden-2024.7.1-x86_64.AppImage

autostart no longer works - the path to the appimage changed cause the name changed so my .desktop files are now no longer working

Issue Tracking Info

• I understand that work is tracked outside of Github. A PR will be linked to this issue should one be opened to address it, but Bitwarden doesn't use fields like "assigned", "milestone", or "project" to track progress.

Just some thoughts on this

Software, especially Security/Cryption related, should always stay working, so if an Update poses the possibility of breaking functionality, Updates should be user-choice and not developer-enforced.

More general speaking, if I install software where compatibility or stability are major keypoints so i need a specific version, then i should be able to assume I can keep it.

I don't know if I can downgrade the Appimage or if it just re-updates itself - also not gonna test it as I have more important things to do right now other than figuring out bitwarden-nonsense-enforced-auto-update-thingy :)

Just hope that compatibility-breaking wouldn't be an issue the next years.

I get this error every time i click something ( after another damn auto-update )

recently I saw >>ELECTRON_NO_UPDATER=1<< should deactivate the auto update - does this actually work ?
