Description mikar_gibbros 2024-05-12 20:24:02 UTC

SUMMARY
Icons-only Task Manager won't pin Flatpak. Icons-only Task Manager won't merge Pin with running App that spawned from it.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE/OBSERVED RESULT
1. Install Gitnuro Flatpak, Run it, Try to Pin but Icons-only Task Manager has a bug and won't pin it.
2. Search for Gitnuro in Application Launcher and Pin it from there. When clicking the Pin, Icons-only Task Manager has a bug and won't open the Task Icon overtop of the Pin, instead showing Gitnuro twice in the Icons-only Task Manager. If you open up multiple windows they are merged into the second icon correctly.

EXPECTED RESULT
1. Right Clicking a Task Icon Then Pinning pinning it should just work (especially when a Flatpak).
2. Right Clicking a Task Icon Should have an option to Open the .Desktop file in an editor.

Please add a Task Manager Option that Merges all Programs with the same Icon.

Please add a Task Manager Option that Merges all Programs with the same Icon "Hash" (does not have to be the same file location on disk).

Can confirm with that app on Wayland with the current git master version of Plasma. This is one of those apps that changes its WM_CLASS string after launch, or else one of the other methods the Task manager uses to identify apps. This is an app bug, not something that the Task Manager should work around. Please report it to the app's developer. Thanks!
