Details

Description:
Ardour .desktop file point to /usr/bin/ardour5 which is a shell script, so then the target process name is different. When using KDE Plasma taskbar with icons or Latte Dock, there's no way to pin that app to the bar so it acts like all apps.

I solved that on my machine by adding following lines to /usr/share/applications/ardour.desktop (or to copy of that file in ~/.local/share/applications/):

StartupWMClass=ardour_ardour ardour
StartupWMClass=ardour-5.12.0

Note that I'm not sure wheter this is a proper place to post that bug and I'm not sure if the .desktop file was made by Ardour author or Arch Linux package maintainer. Feel free to close this if there's nothing to do on Arch Linux side.

Additional info:
* community/ardour 5.12-13 (pro-audio)

Steps to reproduce:
1. Use KDE Plasma taskbar with icons or Latte Dock
2. Pin to the bar using right click on icon or drag the icon from menu
3. It will either create icon that doesn't work at all, or working activator that is not connected to the opened application window.
This task depends upon

This should be reported upstream I think, as the .desktop file originates there.
I'm merely packaging the file ;-)
