Multiple Dock icons as Login Item

Open nathanielks opened this issue 12 years ago • 5 comments

Heyo!

I added CodeKit as a Login Item via Users & Groups > Login Items. When the computer boots up, there's an active codekit icon in the dock, but when I click it, nothing happens; Codekit doesn't open. I have to open the application again and then it works, but now there's two dock icons.

Do you have CodeKit set to run from the menubar rather than the Dock? (Look in CodeKit's preferences).

Nope! It's set to run from the Dock.

Very weird. I don't have an answer. I know many people do this and it works just fine. I'd try removing all the dock icons and deleting the app from your applications folder, then downloading a new copy. Likewise, delete the login item entry and re-add it once you've got the new copy installed. If that doesn't work, you might try trashing the login and dock plist files, then rebooting.
