Then to get the icon to show up on the AppImage in the Dolphin file manager, I had to install the libappimage package and make sure in the Dolphin Configure page to enable Previews of AppImages.
Now I have a wonderful Applications folder on my Desktop where all my AppImages are located. KDE Plasma 6 with AppImages is beginning to look more like my MacOS Desktop which is a nice thing for muscle memory.

My mistake for the desktop location. It is definitely ~/.local/share/applications/ and not apps.
I had no idea about the libappimage package, thanks!
I just stuck sigil.svg in ~/.local/share/icons/hicolor/scalable/apps. But a library that uses the icon within the AppImage is a much better approach. Unfortunately, I don't think the Nemo file browser on my Cinnamon desktop has an "enable previews of AppImages" option.
