Pin icon to taskbar duplicates Zotero

Hey,

With Zotero 7, the ability to pin to taskbar create two icons. It was working perfectly with zotero 6.
So I guess I did something wrong?

Can you please help me on how to debug this? This made me realize that I didn't change the icon of the launcher, so I will update this asap.

32-bit issue, update appinfo.ini Control section

This only affects users on 32-bit Windows. The Control section of appinfo.ini needs to be updated to:

[Control]
Icons=1
Start=ZoteroPortable.exe
BaseAppID=%BASELAUNCHERPATH%\App\Zotero32\zotero.exe
BaseAppID64=%BASELAUNCHERPATH%\App\Zotero\zotero.exe

Sometimes, the impossible can become possible, if you're awesome!

Thanks, but...

Thank you John, but unfortunately that didn't do the trick.

I updated launcher.ini : https://github.com/pedrom34/ZoteroPortable-dev-repo/blob/fd8dfc956122543... and recreated the launcher. It still does display two icons when I pin ZoteroPortable from the menu.

Taskbar Hash

Looks like Zotero is now using the Firefox style taskbar IDs. I'll need to adapt the Firefox custom code to handle it.

Any news?

Hey John,

Any news on this?
I'm pushing v7.0.7 today to github.

Removed

I've removed the ability to pin Zotero Portable to the taskbar via the PA.c Platform in 7.0.7 which is mirroring now. Zotero doesn't seem to respect any of the registry keys to handle it the way Firefox does.

I updated the appinfo.ini (taskbar pinning), ZoteroPortable.ini (missing registry key), and the icons (some extras and ICO was missing 256 color).

Sometimes, the impossible can become possible, if you're awesome!
