This type of thing happens with me as well. I am using Chrome, not Chromium, but it is the same type of behavior.
My setup: Ubuntu 12.04 64-bit google-chrome is default browser google-chrome is also default program to open html files google-chrome is locked to launcher To produce: I open google-chrome and browse I then locate an html file on my drive in nautilus and double-click to open it Expected behavior: "locked" Google chrome icon shows multiple arrows, indicating that multiple windows are now open Actual behavior: A second chrome icon shows up at the bottom of the launcher, which is attached to this html file open instance Ideal behavior: The single chrome instance opens a new tab showing the html output. I realize this is likely possible now, and perhaps just related to calling chrome in a special fashion to indicate it should attach it as a new tab instead of a new instance. But let's just get the new instance thing working first!! :) Additional info: I don't believe I modified any mime or defaults information manually (in the config files) when setting chrome to the default html opener. Though this definitely looks like confusion between desktop files/bamf and google-chrome reporting itself funny when opened from a file. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/988337 Title: two chromium icons on the launcher To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity/+bug/988337/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
