When tasks are grouped the task group shows the executable name ("google-chrome", "dolphin") instead of "Google Chrome" and "Dolphin". Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Enable task grouping in Task Manager settings 2. Open two windows of the same application 3. Actual Results: The group shows the executable name Expected Results: The group shows the pretty application name
Same here, Plasma 5.5.5. Not all grouped windows are shown with executable-like name though, seems there is some pattern: qt5/kf5 ones/libreoffice have executable-like name, kdelibs4 ones/firefox/gimp have display name like strings. There is some correlation with the second string of the WM_CLASS property of the windows and the string shown for the grouped windows: WM_CLASS(STRING) = "assistant-qt5", "assistant-qt5" -> "assistant-qt5" WM_CLASS(STRING) = "kate", "kate" -> "kate" WM_CLASS(STRING) = "konsole", "konsole" -> "konsole" WM_CLASS(STRING) = "libreoffice", "libreoffice-writer" -> "libreoffice-writer" vs. WM_CLASS(STRING) = "konqueror", "Konqueror" -> "Konqueror" WM_CLASS(STRING) = "Navigator", "Firefox" -> "Firefox" WM_CLASS(STRING) = "gimp-2.8", "Gimp-2.8" -> "Gimp-2.8"
This is fixed in the new Task Manager backend shipping with Plasma 5.7.
