munki2: (10.6 only) Dock icon has bad resolution when badge is shown #379

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago 

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Launch Managed Software Center
2. Wait until available updates are found

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

Expected: See an high-res icon with a badge showing the number of available 
updates
See instead: The icon has a quite low resolution (in the dock and in the 
application switcher)

What version of the Munki tools/InstallOSpkg tools are you using? On what
version of OS X?

munki 2.0.0.2188
Mac OS X 10.6.8

Please provide any additional information below.
Find screenshots attached.

The problem seems to be limited to 10.6. I have tested it on 10.9.4 without any 
problems, but with a second 10.6 machine the same problem occurred.

Was your screenshot made with a 10.6 machine?

No, I use a 10.9.4 machine day-to-day, as it is Apple's current OS. I'll check 
on a 10.6 machine later today, but I do test on 10.6 and had not noticed any 
issue like this.

I was able to reproduced on a Snow Leopard machine. This seems related to these:

k-solved/
http://superuser.com/questions/248911/dock-displays-low-resolution-icons

and other reports on the web.

I have a feeling it is also related to the recommended icns format for 
high-resolution displays. I'll see if there is anything I can do to address it, 
but if the choice is between worse icons on Retina MacBookPros and occasional 
icon fuzziness on an old OS, I'll pick the latter.

An update: if I replace the icon, which contains both "hi-res" (2x/"Retina") 
versions and "normal" versions of the image, with one that does _not_ contain 
the high-res versions, the issue goes away.

This can't be a general solution, as this leaves Retina Macs without the 
expected 512x512@2x version of the icon.

Further update: I've reproduced this on another application with an 
Apple-standard hi-res application icon. I had to do some hackery, though. Still 
looking for an app that has hires icons (1024x1024 or 512x512@2x) that runs on 
Snow Leopard and displays a badge in the Dock/App Switcher.

But right now, this is looking like an Apple bug or a Snow Leopard limitation.

One possible workaround would be to NOT badge the app icon under Snow Leopard...
