repinning different msys2 doesn’t work

Optiligence opened this issue · comments

using 2 different msys2 environments
after pinning and unpinning a launcher from one env
then starting the launcher from the 2nd env and pinning it
the pin will still start the first env

What do you mean by environments?

installations

to elaborate: the 2nd one is from another PC (as if it were installed on an external drive)

i guess you could argue that the installer doesn’t allow 2 separate installations on a single machine

but i think (i don’t recall exactly) whatever that installation puts into the registry (or any config ftm) is not what is used to populate the location when pinning anyway…

I believe the installer is okay with multiple installations, although I think there's only one uninstaller registered in Windows.

The launcher currently doesn't differentiate between multiple installations, but I guess it could.

it was a bit annoying to have to dig through the registry to be able to change which one is started
so it would be cool if that wasn’t necessary

somewhat related: mintty windows from those 2 envs occupy the same element in the taskbar. It would basically »solve« this problem if they were distinct, and also be helpful to differentiate corresponding windows.

Released in v1.4.
