MuseScore - two versions, how to select and remove?

SOLUSfiddler

Hi y'all,
I'm running two different versions of MuseScore:

MuseScore Studio version (64-bit): 4.5.2-251141401, revision: ac9d3bc
MuseScore-Studio-4.6.2.252830930-x86_64.AppImage
The two because I clicked on the update button within the first version only to find that it downloaded an AppImage.
Weird thing: Every time I start the AppImage it starts alright but if I pin it to the task bar it won't do that, and instead the older version (the first one above) gets pinned.

So, how do I find out how to deinstall/remove the old version? I can't remember how I installed it as I don't use the software not too often.
Any help would be appreciated (it would be helpful for other software, too).

Cheers!

Sebastian

Seems MuseScore is in Solus repo with version 4.4.4 and on Flathub with version 4.6.1. So, maybe your 4.5.2 is also an appimage? Or a not up to date flatpak?
You can run flatpak list to see whether you have installed it as a flatpak. You can also search your computer for Appimages.

Also, AppImages need a desktop file for proper functioning/integration in desktop. For this, you can use gear lever from Flathub.
You can also open a package update request for MuseScore here: https://github.com/getsolus/packages

Thanks, Sebastian,
I had wondered what Gear Lever was - hadn't noticed it before.
I could use it to deinstall the old version (it was an AppImage) and push the new app into the app menu.
So, now I can run it from there without having to double-click it in my downloads folder where it had landed originally.
Thanks, buddy!

The old one (4.5.2) is definitely not from eopkg. We got an even older version. Not a flatpak or snap either.

Maybe you did manual install? Download the tar and extract it local folder?

Run in terminal:
ps -aux | grep -i muse with either the first and then the last of your MuseScore programs running:

You might get something looking like this (example nheko from repo and poddr as appimage)
sebi@solus ~ $ ps -aux | grep nheko sebi 2661 0.4 2.1 36692028 340736 ? SLl 17:15 0:10 /usr/bin/im.nheko.Nheko sebi 10254 0.0 0.0 7080 4480 pts/3 S+ 17:53 0:00 grep nheko

sebi@solus ~ $ ps -aux | grep -i poddr sebi 9379 5.6 1.1 1216330368 189104 ? Sl 17:49 0:00 /tmp/.mount_poddr.JhOJNC/poddr --no-sandbox sebi 9382 6.5 0.0 12140 2636 ? Ssl 17:49 0:01 /home/sebi/Programme/AppImages/poddr.appimage --no-sandbox

Maybe this helps to find your program.

SOLUSfiddler You are welcome. It is the irony of history that you need a flatpak to manage AppImages. But that's what it is 😂
