More > JRiver Media Center 25 for Mac

Three icons in dock?

<< < (3/3)

janpeeters:
I have the same issue. Normally e.g. if I start an app like iTunes it shows only once in recent apps, even if I've started it up multiple times. That would be preferred behavior. Currently Media Center 'pollutes' the functionality of recent apps.

I've noticed that MC25 also completely quits when I press the red (close window) button. There are a few other apps that nuts down completely when clicking this button, but most (and this would be preferred behavior for an media library app in my opinion) would be to leave MC open. Just the windows are closed, it you want to quit the app you use cmd-Q or the Quit application menu item.

I thought there might be a relation with the multiple versions in recent apps because of the quiting and opening behavior of MC25.

I just opened JRiver 25 on my MacBook Pro. Now, I don't just get three icons in the doc... I get an animated movie, showing JRiver opening and opening and opening and opening and opening. Scrolling the the bar at the bottom of the screen, passing the black dot showing which one is active to the next icon and next icon.

Really, this isn't good behavior. Is this going to get fixed?

Awesome Donkey:
Can't reproduce, but it's surely related to the recent apps feature in Mojave (which I have disabled, so I don't see any additional icons in the dock).

enazarko:
That's actually a useful feature for me, since what I'm doing from week to week varies a lot, so the apps I use vary a lot. Besides being an insane movie now, it also wipes my frequency used apps completely away.

I've overseen software development teams, and was lead architect for some really big companies. Whenever I see an application suddenly begin misbehaving in an odd way, I typically recommend it be quarantined, because it's often a sign of something bigger being broken.

My mobile computers are the last reason I use JRiver, but I haven't used it now in months because of this bad behavior. Does raise the question of whether or not I should keep on the train I've been on since probably version 8 or 9.
