Wrong StartupWMClass #33

Open felixlberg opened 4 years ago

Hello

There is a problem with the latest debian .deb version (3.21.6) and StartupWMClass in the .desktop file which is created under /usr/share/applications/micropad.desktop.

The app starts with the class: ÂµPad not µPad so you are getting a problem similar to this (double icons in launcher). I was able to workaround this by adding StartupWMClass=ÂµPad to the desktop file but I think the wrong name gets generated by electron in build process...

Ah, interesting. I'll have a look at https://github.com/Zettlr/Zettlr/blob/829b2254da9779e3331d692bc8cd1ee3c1d76e7c/scripts/build-app.js to see if I can re-use their fix.

I think this happens by the special character µ

If you use xprop WM_CLASS to show the actual generated WMClass you get different letters \302\265pad this seems to me like some wrong encoded binary values. Here some example.

I've experienced the same issue. The workaround worked well. Thanks @felixlberg!
