I will try to resume tested puppy's results in first post..please test&post your favorites tested ones ,32 & 64 bits.
(edit...oups,cannot find a 32 bits one...)
Are app.image be less sensible to break libs/system instead of sfs/layer(mount/unmount) when used in ¨already included libs¨ system?
of what i read,it should.

Hello
At the weekend I discovered a new version of FreeCAD 0.19 which was built with qt5 (FreeCAD_0.19.16207_Conda_Py3Qt5_glibc2.12-x86_64). It weights 279 MB.
I could not resist and investigated if the large size of this appimage could be reduced.
As a first step I removed the accompanying qt5.6.2 and added some missing qt5.9.5 libs of Puppy Bionic. Using the higher compression ration of the sfs file reduced also the size. Finally I ended up with a file size of 188 MB.
With respect to Bionicpup64 8.0 CE, a lot of other libs could have been removed because of they are already included in Bionic64, but I left it as it is.
So far I did not notice any new strange behavoir because of the replacement, but who knows...

Link to app.image from their wiki 0.19 seems broken...
this link alive
Have not test your 0.19 , their seems to fully work .
Removing doc alone could shrink of 50-60mb...if size matter.
Rather than shrink/repack the appimage i would look in the update option,if you need recent version and you can get somewhere with AppImageUpdate-x86 or appimageupdatetool-x86_64.AppImage .

About AppImageUpdater-**git-latest**-x86_64.AppImage simple gui/drag-drop as suggest in FreeCad-wiki
in bionicpup64 you need to install;
-appstream_0.12.0 and dependencies
-gpgv2_2.2.4 and dependencies.
----works for me---
That fc utility is a must considering the size of it!well,of both!!
AppImageUpdater-9b4000e-x86_64.AppImage=8mb
FreeCad ApImage=360-520mb
By the way,UExtract does ¨unpack¨ appimage!!!
If needed..

Edit ;posted below a new solution.
Got latest fc dev to load using this modified google-chrome run-as-spot script on extracted*(caution-,371mb appimage=1220mb extracted) appimage; test on bionicpup64.
***a test here..100% no warranty***
_____
-so get freecad 0.19 latest dev appimage
-extract it(UExtract does it)
-download and edit the script to your need
-make it executable
-run it
your .freacad.conf there:
/root/spot/.config/FreeCAD
your user.cfg there;
/root/spot/.FreeCAD
know bug;
-saving files outside spot folder get exception error
**well,having fc appimage extracted/¨unsquash¨ load very fast**
**in data field consumption;371mb appimage=1220mb extracted---woooo... and you have to keep both if you intend to use AppImage update tool**
anybody know who create this script for chrome??
Any help,hints ,suggestion is thankfully welcome

Thanks to Freecad appimage devs patience...
There is another short and sweet solution to the root(more sandboxing) glitch for latest 0.19 appimage.
- From extracted appimage
- Edit the AppRun ,add one line:
export QTWEBENGINE_DISABLE_SANDBOX=1
-----------------
run it
-----------------
repack the appimage if you can ...i have not succeeded that yet..
as i posted,its faster to run fc appimage ¨extracted¨ anyway.
Any help,hints ,suggestion comments are thankfully welcome

In bionicpup64 ,using appimagetool-x86_64.AppImage finally succeeded at recreating the appimage.
Beware** you need plenty of ram to execute this inside e.g. /tmp
4gb here was not enough....
The easiest way(..less console use as possible...could have been novice user way..):
-install gnupg2 + dependencies
-rename your extacted appimage to squash-root
-get the appimagetool-x86_64.AppImage ,
save it to;e.g./tmp assuming your ¨renamed target¨ is in /tmp/squashfs-root
-give executable permissions to appimagetool-x86_64.AppImage
-terminal here(e.g.;/tmp)
./appimagetool-x86_64.AppImage squashfs-root
----------------------
you should end up with an executable ¨rebuild appimage¨
e.g. here in /tmp/FreeCAD_Conda-x86_64.AppImage
May i will edit first post eventually to include the hints/solutions ..
if ever this topic get to something different then a talk to myself..
of topic note;often ask myself;should i post it in lets say
---House Training » Beginners Help ( Start Here)26624 Topics--888pages of it!!!
or
-- HOWTO ( Solutions ) [1803 Topics]
choose to post links to ¨my projects/interest¨ here and there in related topics trying to keep forum concise & searchable as possible..it is getting big..no wonder after 15 years of it..
no offence here to anybody but , i still have a hard time using forum search engine!!!
Anyhow ,long live to puppies and variants!!!!

Lets throw some more sand in the box about the above posts...
As ;
-its not recommended to disable sandboxing,
in the name of security,if your insecure here!!!
- that disabling sandboxing with the last solution save your .FreeCAD user directory in /root
-that using run-as-spot script save those in /root/spot,which,tell me if i am wrong here,be see as a more secure practice...
You could use both solutions, on extracted appimage...
That way,if you ever use Freecad webengine to pay your online bills!!!!,
or be the funny one to do a 3D replicate of your credit card!!?*!!²¤$!!
you will feel a little more secure
