Mixxx can startet 2times - Task shortcut issue

[Stefan Franz]

Linux Mint 20.3 - Mixxx 1.4 alpha 1219

I made (as can be seen in the screenshot) a shortcut on the task bar for starting Mixxx. When i start, Mixxx comes up with the another picture in the task bar.
I accidentally clicked on the start link and mixsxx started a second time.

In my opinion whould be helpful if Mixxx is only startable 1 time. And normal, if i start an app over the task bar the app is displayed not separately in the taksbar but only one time under the start shortcut.

Let's investigate the taskbar issue first.
Why is the icon different?
Which desktop do you use?
How did you install Mixxx?

Linux Mint 20.3 Cinnamon - normal installed without any tweaks

The "old" Button (screenshot right side) maybe comes from the previous flatpak installation of Mixxx 2.3.3

Additional info:
At the very beginning of me with Mixxx i installed about 6 month ago both versions (2.3).
Flatpak and the ppa version. The flatpak comes with the old button, the ppa with the new (left side on the screenshot).

I installed the Mixxx 2.4 so in a terminal:
$ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:mixxx/nightlies
$ sudo apt update
$ sudo apt install mixxx

Will you issue also occur without flatpack installed previously?

[Stefan Franz (stefan-franz)]

I can't test it (or you tell me how).
I deinstalled all Mixxx 2.3.3 Flatpaks on all devices and installed on all the ppa 2.4 - 1219 version.
Before i used on all devices the flatpak 2.3.3 version because the soundcard switching made at the ppa versions sometimes problems....and with the flatpak version not.
