@anticapitalX.
As mentioned already, most of the suggested was already implemented with the –desktop / -d option.
I have made it so only one instance will run and any other calls to app-select will toggle the first instance. There is a weird quirk with this as if a standard window is minimized it will take calling app-select again 2 more times to make it show. This is because of commands being different between window show/hide and minimize/present. Cannot see how to unconditionally do both. This works fine however with the tray app (–desktop).https://gitlab.com/antiX-Dave/app-select-antix/-/blob/master/app-select?ref_type=heads

I am not sure where I read about a quick apps option and issues with the missing icon crashout.
Not having much time does not work well with searching through the forum…. better notes should be taken it seems.
Anyway this is the latest thread that comes up in the forum search so I am posting here. There are some updates made to start with the quick apps list and hopefully fix the missing icon issues as well as some other changes (such as follow the xdg environment variables if available and default to fixed full path if not).The quick apps section adds to and reads from files in ~/.local/share/applications with the X-Personal category. This is the same process as when generating a ‘Personal’ menu with desktop-menu (desktop-menu –menu-file=TCM-MENU.menu). So any .desktop file with the X-Personal category should show up in the new quick apps category as well as the ‘Personal’ menu when regenerated. The reverse also applies if a new .desktop file is made and used in the ‘Personal’ menu it will show up in the quick apps section when app-select is restarted (will update to work with the right click reload option).
