Update BUG OS X: two sets of icons are visible

[lure23]

Reporting here, though it's not ideation.

Versions:Fusion 360 1.8.568 -> 1.8.601, OS X 10.8.4

I had noticed the Release Notes for a new version at the Forums, so clicked 'search for updates' icon in the toolbar. The program told 'no updates available' so I continue the work (or whatever it is I'm doing).

Later, I move the mouse too fast, and Fusion 360 starts beach balling (gets stuck).

I notice the dock now has duplicate icons for Fusion 360 and Sim 360.

This is not normal (other self-updating apps never show two sets of dock icons).

Notice that the leftmost Fusion 360 has the 'running' indicator. The others don't.

Happened: 

Jul 31st 21:00 .. 22:20 GMT+3

I'll Force Quit the running instance now and see what happens.

The left icon points to: webdeploy/69e5777f7670ab8fe6a5d402b114295c37eba7a4/Fusion360.app   (no version info, 1.0)

The right icon points to: webdeploy/1b540d9427bb7bbd438f42f69735ab27b95b8d7b/Autodesk Fusion 360.app(version 1.0)

I'll start the new version now.

All seems okay.

Launching the new version removed the old version's icons from the Dock (but what if I had launched the old icon, not the new one?).

the old shortcut will not do anything. The removal of the old shortcut happens as part of the launch of the new app. This ensures that the update happened cleanly. The update button in the toolbar is poorly named. It is meant to look for new versions of the open design. i.e. you are working with another user on the same file at the same time and you want to get their version instead of your own.
