Behavior of MC25 & Mac dock

(1/2) > >>

daidnik:
Using MC 35 on Mojave OS.

New to mac.  New to JRiver MC although I knew about the product from Pono.

MC25 is creating 2X objects on dock at every start.

I cannot un-check the 'open at logon/startup' option on the dock objects.

General setting in MC25 are to do "nothing" at startup.

The multiple objects on the dock do not vanish upon 'quit' of MC25.

I have removed the application and re-installed from dmg and this behavior still persists.

I plan on using this Mac Mini as a 'headless' server and I can't go forward with that until I find/get this issue fixed.

Surely something is 'wrong' in the behaviour.

I have searched for solution to this issue, but data is scant on the subject.

Any assistance is appreciated.

Awesome Donkey:
It's probably related to this and the new macOS Mojave recent apps feature: https://yabb.jriver.com/interact/index.php/topic,120005.0.html

I didn't know about the 'Recent Apps' feature.  I think you are on the right track.

What's odd is that even if I put a MC object on the dock, the app is STILL putting another object in 'Recent Apps' which does seem to violate the principle/design as cited in the first link on the subject.

Will try turning off the 'Recent Apps' feature tonight.  All I need is to prevent the unwanted accumulation of these icons in the 'Recent Apps' region.  The fact that multiple copies of the same objects accumulate there seems to betray something wrong between MC25 and Mac OS.  Hard to spin any rational reason for that.

Thanks for the reply.  My needs are so simple for this machine and I've already spent whole day flac converting obscure CD's, scanning cover art, etc.

I had the same thing happen when I got a Mac with "recent apps".  I turned it off and all the extra MC icons went away for good.

"Aaahh"...  Music to my ears

Thanks
