WPS Office programs don't show their icons in Plank

[Martin]

These apps use custom title bar, which can be turned off. When you start eg. Writer, it uses custom title bar and doesn't show in Plank. When you switch to system title bar, the icon magically appears. Then you can switch back to their custom title bar and the icon stays in plank. I think there is some problem with detection of open apps, what method are you using?

I was trying to locate the source of the issue. Bamf does correctly find the window and match it.

qdbus org.ayatana.bamf /org/ayatana/bamf/matcher org.ayatana.bamf.matcher.RunningApplications
reports the window correctly, so I think the problem must be somewhere in plank.

Installing plank_0.11.2+bzr1578-0elementary0.4.1_amd64 and its dependencies from the daily ppa fixed this bug.

I'm using Linux Mint Mate 18.1, WPS 10.1.0.5672 and Plank 0.11.1-1 and I do not see the WPS icon in Plank.

This is weird but it looks that it only happens when you try to open a file with the WPS application from the files explorer (Caja in my case). If I open the application directly from the applications menu the icon is shown in Plank.

To fix the issue, you need to use at least plank 0.11.2. I have currently installed 0.11.3-1elementary1~ubuntu0.4.1 and have no issues.
