Bill Cole wrote, quoting Robert M. Münch:
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.
Is it possible that you have MM installed in 2 places?
Rather than saying installed, I would say another executable image
anywhere in the filesystem, and I do mean anywhere.
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.
