I don't think I was communicating the problem correctly. What you are describing is the problem I'm having. The icons do launch correctly. They just don't combine with the launch icon.

Thanks,
Kevin ]]> RE: Chrome apps not pinning correctly https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/chrome-apps-not-pinning-correctly/?ID=88eef2d5-aa94-49a2-9d9a-33dcfd57e310#18 Fri, 08 Apr 2022 15:22:31 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/chrome-apps-not-pinning-correctly/?ID=88eef2d5-aa94-49a2-9d9a-33dcfd57e310#18 DisplayFusion Hi Kevin,

What version of Chrome are you currently running? I can reproduce the icons not combining on my end, but launching Gmail and Google Messages both seem to work fine without adjusting the application path.

Thanks! ]]> RE: Chrome apps not pinning correctly https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/chrome-apps-not-pinning-correctly/?ID=88eef2d5-aa94-49a2-9d9a-33dcfd57e310#17 Thu, 07 Apr 2022 19:26:30 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/chrome-apps-not-pinning-correctly/?ID=88eef2d5-aa94-49a2-9d9a-33dcfd57e310#17 DisplayFusion

Thanks for the reply!

Correct. I noticed in the settings for the pinned item that it was pointing to chrome_proxy.exe. I changed that to just use chrome.exe and that worked for opening Gmail. However, I also have Google Messages for Web (which does the same thing) but when I change that to use chrome.exe, it just turns into a regular Chrome icon and opens a blank site.

FYI, I was using the beta version of 10 and the above changes didn't work at all in it. Once I went back to 9.9, I was able to at least get the Gmail icon to perform as expected.

I'm using Pro 9.9 and am running into this issue. I have a Gmail as an app. When I pin it to the taskbar, a copy of the icon appears. When I close Gmail and click on the pinned item, another icon shows for Gmail (giving me 2 again).

I tried installing the beta version and it's still doing this. Any ideas?

Thanks!

Pinned Chrome App works fine on monitor with Windows 10 task bar. When I move the window to where I want to pin it, the icon changes from the icon of the app to the Google Chrome icon.

I've added this to our list to look into again and we'll be sure to let you know when we're able to get it fixed up.

In the meantime, I've attached a screenshot of how I was able to get a Chrome pinned app working for launching. You'll need to set a custom icon in the shortcut settings, and it won't combine with the running one though.

OS Windows 10 Pro 1809

Just updated to Windows 10 from 8.1. In Windows 8.1, the Chrome Apps I was using pinned perfectly. Google Play Music and Keep kept their their own seperate icons and opened properly w/o having to modify the shortcuts. If I pin them now, they open a regular chrome page unless I modify the shortcut. And even then they still use a generic Chrome icon. Any ideas of a fix?

Thanks. ]]>
