Different icons issue
« on: August 21, 2024, 12:16:00 AM »
Hello everyone,
I noticed that I've the PM+ icon on the dock and the PM icon in the Stage Manager. Another aesthetic bug that could be fixed in a next build.

I don't understand.  What is a "Stage Manager"?

Delete Photo Mechanic 6 from your computer and leave Photo Mechanic Plus and then restart Photo Mechanic Plus. The issue will be resolved.

Eliano,

Ah, Stage Manager: https://support.apple.com/en-us/102355

If you've ever had PM6 on your system, then since PM6 and PM Plus have the same application 'creator code' (PM06), macOS can be confused as to which application icon to show since it caches application icons in its own database.

Our newer product uses the same icon for all editions and it is the license that determines runtime functionality and this issue cannot occur.

The advice Andrew gave you should address the problem once the Launch Services Database is updated.
