I just found out why with starting the prog vial konsole:

"qt.qpa.wayland: Wayland does not support QWindow::requestActivate()"

After switching to Plasma X11 all is fine.

Question: Is it solvable on Wayland?

There is a workaround to tell it to use the desired icon instead of the generic one, either by a custom kwin rule or edit of the menu entry, I just need to find it.
The fix on the developer end probably is not overly difficult, but IANAP

The worst case it to boot to an X11 session.

Okay:
Based on THIS, among others:

Create a rule as described. The exact location in System Settings will be a little different now.
Use the “detect properties” to get the basic values.
Click on all items in the popup with a checkmark (2 items) to add them. You should end up with four items.
Edit the Description to something you want.

Then "add property >> Desktop File Name.

Edit things to match the screenshot
Change net.damonlynch.python3 to the name of the actual .desktop file: net.damonlynch.rapid_photo_downloader
Change "Window types" to "All Window Types" in the dropdown.




Apply, close and restart the application, and it should work.

Thank you very much for your detailled instruction! Now it works fine as it should!

Hmm I do not know where the original post content went.

I merged the two as they were in different Topics but were for the same problem in neon.
