I have found that if I leave full-image backups (e.g. CarbonCopy Cloner or SuperDuper) mounted permanently, macOS Launch Services can get confused about which copy of an app is the right one to use. This can result in the behavior you describe. Yes, correct. Rebuilding LaunchServices will fix this for a while, but not very long. Things in unmounted disk images are not a problem, nor are things in compressed (zipped) files. Similarly, if you have an operating system installer anywhere in the filesystem, and you try to download an updated copy, that will not get saved to a separate file, your existing old installer will be overwritten with the new one's data. I will refrain from opining on all this, other than to say I am not happy with it, at all. ビリー ヨーデルマん +1 310 839 7673 http://MIX.ORG/ ___ mailmate mailing list mailmate@lists.freron.com https://lists.freron.com/listinfo/mailmate

Re: [MlMt] Activate MM through shortcut by opening it again doesn't work
How are you triggering the Stream Deck action? I use Keyboard Maestro with mine which allows for any number of scripting possibilities. A shell script running `open -a MailMate` should work, as would an AppleScript `tell application "MailMate" to activate` Both of those work fine even if MailMate is already running.

[MlMt] Activate MM through shortcut by opening it again doesn't work
I use Stream Deck (physical shortcut deck) which allows to start an application. Most OSX apps can be activated by opening them again if they already run. MM isn’t activated, instead it behaves strange in that it looks like a 2nd instance is launched but terminated after a short time. Any idea how I can activate my running MM instance through an external command/short-cut/… ? -- Robert M.
