well you can sere e thinks the app is chromium not brave: __E_ATOM_DESKTOP_FILE(UTF8_STRING) = "/usr/share/applications/chromium.desktop" brave is doing this: WM_CLASS(STRING) = "chromium", "Chromium" well well well.. it is literally saying "hey... i'm chromium!" it's literally lying about it's name. the brave install i have does not do that: WM_CLASS(STRING) = "brave-browser", "Brave-browser" something about your brave install is literally just broken. it's setting a wm na,e/class that is still copy & pasted from the chromium codebase and pretending to be chromium. e is now getting confused as matching that with the chromium desktop file you have because it's using the wm class "chromium" as the desktop file name to match as you don't have a StartupWMClass in your desktop files. e.g. terminology has: StartupWMClass=terminology but even if you had this there is no way for e to see the difference between a brave window and a chromium one. look at the properties - they all pretend to be chromium. there is a: _NET_WM_PID(CARDINAL) = 2556 property. does that PID exist? is it the same as the execute command in the desktop: Exec=/usr/bin/brave-browser-stable %U let me guess - this exec is a script and this script EXITS. that means the PID that e knows as the thing it runs has exited. some other child process "replaces" it. e.g. it doesn't use: exec /path/to/brave at the end of the script but it launches the browser maybe with a & to detache the child process or mauybe without and thus brave pid is a child pid of the script that is run. the brave launche script in arch ends with: exec /usr/lib/brave-bin/brave "$@" $USER_FLAGS which is the right way to do things. either way e tracks the child pid of what it launches - it can use that to match the net wm pid property to track it back to a desktop file. if the app messes around here and the pid of what e ran is not the pid the app says it is... then it won't match and it cant use netwm pid to figure out the desktop file. then the wm class is totally wrong- it says it's chromium and e has matched that with the chromium desktop file. that's probably why you don't see the brave icon... but probably should see the chromium one, unless in ibar settings you have endabled "don't show active windows" under "misc" at the bottom. then ibar won't add new icons for apps not already in ibar... but either way your brave install is broken. it's pretending to be chromium. that's very lazy. that's poor quality. i wouldn't use a browser showing such poor signs of quality control. upgrade to a newer brave that is better quality checked or try something else, but it's obviously a poor quality app and the whole desktop file issue is showing it is right now - at least the packaged version you have there. the brave version i installed here (1.39.120) does not have those issues. it installed the binary brave that the brave guys ship. > On 6/11/22 09:18, Pierre Couderc via enlightenment-users wrote: > > > > And brave is not as critical for me as lxd.
