Duplicate Flatpak Icons in Plank-Anyone else have this?

brent

Axios When you use xprop WM_CLASS start the program then click on it with the cross on its window
Its for the name of the window not the icons.

I had a mental block with ~ $ xprop WM_CLASS. I had a hobby distro early this year and it was a DE without a compositor (BSWPM on Solus and LXDE on an arch variant)--so I had to take a crash course in Picom and had to write my own config files! Pain! ~ $ xprop WM_CLASS --learning how to use that tool is part of getting your config file right. Couldn't get the crosshairs going last night but whole system was under the weather or probably just the operator.

@Harvey thanks for marking solved

first thanks again @Sebastian & @Axios
Had time to customize laptop budgie finally tonight and had to refer to this thread.

Let me make this simpler for ANYONE here with flatpak duplicates.

Tear your apps out of plank. Do not open them.

1) find the /root app file and move them/home so you can operate/

sudo cp /var/lib/flatpak/exports/share/applications/io.gitlab.librewolf-community.desktop ~/.local/share/applications 
 sudo cp /var/lib/flatpak/exports/share/applications/io.github.ungoogled_software.ungoogled_chromium.desktop ~/.local/share/applications

then
 sudo gedit /home/brent/.local/share/applications/io.gitlab.librewolf-community.desktop
sudo gedit /home/brent/.local/share/applications/io.github.ungoogled_software.ungoogled_chromium.desktop

when LibreWolf is open observe Name=LibreWolf. Scroll down to StartupWMClass=librewolf.Change the l and the w to uppercase to mirror Name=. Save. The end.

when the Ungoogled file is open notice that WMClass=somestupidname and it does not mirror Name=Ungoogled Chromium. Delete WMClass entry. Save. The end.
