Can't run AppImage on desktop by doubleclicking or clicking "Open"

New linux user, currently running on Ubuntu 20.04.

Double-clicking an AppImage file on desktop or using "right click > Open" does nothing and doesn't display any errors either, however double-clicking it from the file manager or running it from terminal works. Any ideas why?
