Suppose I have a program
myapp
. It has two sub tasks, A and B. Launcjhing myapp --task A
launches A and similar for B. Launching myapp
only opens another intro window. I have three .desktop files in /usr/local/share/applications
: myapp.desktop
, myappA.desktop
and myappB.desktop
; all with different icons. When I launch myappA
from applications menu in my desktop environment, it opens task A but the icon shown in plasma task manager (or dock in gnome) is of myapp.desktop
. Also if I run myappA
and myappB
together, they are grouped together (I can prevent grouping but that will not group two task A windows also). The behavior is consistent in KDE, GNOME and other DE's.
So is there any way to have three different icons for task A, task B and intro windows in task manager?
