Second Zotero Icon in Dock when run as a Flatpak #71

Closed RetroTux closed 3 years ago

RetroTux commented 4 years ago

Known issue for some flatpak apps (e.g. GIMP). When running Zoetro, a second icon is shown in the Dock (plank). Here's a workaround, but not sure how to implement it for Zotero:

This doesn't happen with Gnome default dock ...

But you just have to follow the hints at the link you pasted changing this value:

$ xprop WM_CLASS
WM_CLASS(STRING) = "Navigator", "Zotero"

But why Elementary can't fix this (because works with Gnome) ?

RetroTux commented 4 years ago

Maybe it will be fixed in the next release. Problem is: There is no Zotero-Launcher in /usr/share/applications, so the instructions don't work for elementary. Any idea how this could be fixed?

Flatpak files are in different places than the traditional installation. At my machine the desktop file is on the dir: /var/lib/flatpak/app/org.zotero.Zotero/x86_64/stable/active/files/share/zotero/zotero.desktop.

But I don't think messing with files of a Flatpak installation is a good practice. Maybe if you put a custom version at your home user dir (e.g.: ~/.local/share/applications/).
