I installed Nightly to /opt and created a launcher in my menu. I then pinned the launcher to the panel. I can start Nightly from that launcher and no new icon is spawned into the panel. Things work as I expect them to.
When I update, a new icon is spawned in the panel when Nightly reopens, and it uses the stock Nightly icon, not the icon I set when defining the launcher. If I close the session and start a new one from the launcher, things work as expected again.
Is this just a quirk of Cinnamon, Mint, or Linux? Is there a way to make it so when the process reopens after updating it remembers to use the launcher in the panel? I am able to edit the .desktop file if something more needs to be added to it.
