Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(Camino Graveyard :: OS Integration, defect)

Description

[Michael Lin]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.0.1) Gecko/20030305 Chimera/0.6+

Put Camino permanently in the dock any standard way (either by dragging it from
a Finder window into the Dock or launching it and then repositioning the Camino
Dock icon). Then launch Camino, either from the Dock or from the Finder. Camino
creates a new temporary Dock icon on the right side of the Dock's application
section, as if a Dock icon didn't already exist. When you quit, this new
temporary icon goes away, but Camino is running you have two Dock icons. The
black triangle indicating open applications is only under the new one. 

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Put Camino in the Dock by dragging from Finder. (Alternatively, launch,
reposition in Dock, and quit.)
2. Click on Camino icon in Dock or in Finder to launch it.
3. Watch second Camino icon appear in right side of applications section of Dock.

Actual Results:  
You get two Camino icons in the Dock, with only the new one showing a black
triangle underneath.

Expected Results:  
It should have not created a new Camino icon, and a black triangle should have
appeared under the first permanent Camino icon indicating Camino had been launched.

Try logging out of your OS X account, and back in. I've noticed that sometimes
OS X 10.2.3 and 10.2.4 don't keep track of Dock changes.

Yeah, this is most likely a problem with your machine. Also, make sure you have
only one copy of Camino on your system.

I have this same problem with both Camino and Mozilla. At first it only happened
on my work system, which is tormented by dozens of install, uninstall, reinstall
cycles, so that was okay. I thought I had done something bad to my Mac somehow
that was unsupported.

But today, it started happening on my home iMac, and I'm not pleased.

I've looked for extra Apple documentation no how the doc remembers which
appliation to launch, but haven't found any useful info. In the past, I thought
that making sure I removed the old icon before launching and saving the new icon
for the newer version would solve the problem.

Make sure you remove all but 1 copy of Camino. If necessary, you may have to do
the trick of removing the Launch Services cache files (google for it).
