Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/aome510/spotify-player/issues/254

Describe the bug
When I open spotify_player for the first time I get this window pop up. I'm not 100% sure if this is a spotify_player thing or an iTerm2 thing, but it only happens when I open spotify_player.

NOTE: I am using enable_media_control = true.

To Reproduce
Open spotify_player on macOS on iTerm2 using a dedicated hotkey window.

Expected behavior
I expect just spotify_player to open.

Environment

OS: macOS
Application version: 0.15.0
Application features: if applicable, provide cargo features used to build spotify_player (installed via brew, whatever the defaults are there). I also enabled enable_media_control = true.

@aome510 commented on GitHub (Sep 17, 2023):

With media_control enabled, MacOS specifically, the app will spawn a separate window named spotify_player for listening to OS media events. IIUC, the "Where is use_default?" popup is to select settings for the window and should happen only once. I don't exactly remember which option I chose but it shouldn't affect the way spotify_player is used.

Edit: now I remember. Actually the "Where is use_default?" is for selecting the settings for Desktop Notification, not related to media_control. Once you select the app, the notification will be displayed using that app's icon.

Thank you! Once I selected an application from the list, the pop up went away. Indeed the spotify_player dock icon and notification icon all look like my selected application.
