Why > windows display finds a correct list and not ibar ? Is this not a bug...? titles are properties on a window itself. set by the app at runtime. icon - it depends on what is matched up. apps can specific icon pixels directly as a property. xprop again will show this. http://www.enlightenment.org/ss/e-62a1a5baaf52d7.99395434.png that's what I see - desktop file is matched. it's found in the normal system (/usr/share/applications/) directory. ibar auto-adds an icon because it can match it to the desktop file (icon on the right of the vertical divider bar - adds a blue bar underneath to indicate it's running). i can bring up the icon in the desktop file editor in e. xprop showing properties there... etc. i can only imagine snap has done something odd. i have found snap to be nothing but pain. it ships custom copies of libs like qt and gtk with an app and then these don't use theme engine plugins on the system thus breaking applications badly with their looks - often to the point of unusability. They also massively bloat out both disk and ram requirements. you no longer share libraries at all. the point of a shared library is it is shared. that means one copy and thus only one copy of the data in memory. if 30 processes all use the same shared library it's loaded only once into memory (the code) and duplicated via virtual memory mappings per process. snap (and flatpak and appimage too) all totally destroy this concept. everyone gets their own copy of a library and thus you load that 50 times into memory not once. a bugfix or security fix has to be duplicated in each snap etc. ... thus you spend more ram (much more) on this and spend mroe i/o loading that lib from disk 50 times (each copy) and so on. using snaps is asking for pain and trouble as well, but that's what you have there. a regularly packages brave browser here with everything done "normally" with the arch brave AUR package (brave-bin here specifically) behaves normally. :) > On 6/7/22 23:45, Carsten Haitzler wrote: > > On Tue, 7 Jun 2022 23:12:59 +0200 Pierre Couderc via enlightenment-users > > <enlightenment-users@lists.sourceforge.net> said: > > > >> On 6/6/22 13:18, Carsten Haitzler wrote: > >>> On Mon, 6 Jun 2022 11:01:17 +0200 Pierre Couderc via enlightenment-users > >>> <enlightenment-users@lists.sourceforge.net> said: > >>> > >>>> When I hoover over a terminology icon in an ibar, I see all the > >>>> instances of terminology, and I can click on the one I want to switch to. > >>>> > >>>> But when I hoover over a brave icon, the list of all instances does not > >>>> appear, so I find no way to open one of them...
