Dock link opens up separate icon not the link #231

Open ja601 opened 4 years ago

ja601 commented 4 years ago

The mail and calendar Epichrome apps that I just created and dragged to the dock always open up a separate icon unlike in the earlier versions of Epi.

Gmail and Gcal on the left are the links I click and they should open. Instead, they create a new instance that opens up to the right. How can I fix that?

You need to create you Shortcut Icon in the Dock from the App under "/Applications/Epichrome/EpichromeEngines.noindex/[Macos-USER]/[AppName]" not directly from /Applications/

Alternatively you just can drag the Icon from the right - when the app ist ope - to the left and remove the other one.

Thanks, @talleux, that's exactly what's going on. Another way to create a dock icon is to run an app, and then once it's running, right-click (or Control-click) on the dock icon and choose Options->Keep in Dock.

Sweet tip. Worked like a charm. Merci so much talleux.

@ja601 your're welcome. Note: if #232 happens to you then you need in this case to start the app from /Applications/[AppID] once, after that your Icon in /Applications/Epichrome/EpichromeEngines.noindex/[Macos-USER]/[AppID] should work again. If then your custom icon is missing you need to set it again. I copy the icon from /Applications/[AppID] to /Applications/Epichrome/EpichromeEngines.noindex/[Macos-USER]/[AppID] using the "Info" menu from the finder for both app folder and copy&paste the icon

I have this behavior again on all apps since:

i updated chrome to the latest version
i updated Epichrome to 2.3.1 (from 2.3.0)
i installed 2.3.2b2 BUT didn't update the apps to this version when prompted to

Unfortunately i did all 3 more or less on the same time so can't tell what causes this.

Hi @talleux, which behavior are you referring to here? Do you mean you're seeing duplicate dock icons?

talleux commented 4 years ago

@dmarmor yes. For me this issue is the sample as #226 and one of both could be closed. As well as #252 I think.

I'll keep this one open as I think the issue of the double icon in the dock is related but different enough from the generic icon issue. Thanks for the update!
