SE 30.0.0.0 Ubuntu x64 current, default desktop. Once I have installed SE 2025 I get a SE icon on the dock bar. So far so good. But when I launch it I get another SE icon there. Other apps like the terminal do not create extra icons with extra windows. So I am surprised to find SE doing so.
If I mouse over my two SE icons, the one created by install says "SlickEdit Pro 2025" but the one created by launching it says "SlickEdit Pro 2023" (different year). Looks like there is an old string somewhere. Maybe fixing that will merge the icons? Either way the mouse over text is wrong. I did have SE2023 installed before I had 2025, so I guess the string might be stuck somewhere in the system rather than in SE itself.
Its a trivial issue, but somehow irritating!

Looks like Ubuntu is a bit stupid. You'll have to delete the old "SlickEdit*.desktop" files.

cd
find . -name "SlickEdit*.desktop"

Delete the old ones.

That makes sense - thanks.
