Use --minimized for auto start

Open KairuByte opened this issue 2 years ago • 6 comments

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. The only time I want GameVault to start minimized is when it starts automatically. The rest of the time, I am intentionally invoking a "please start". Currently, if GV is closed, and I say "hey computer, start GameVault" I get a splash screen which then poofs. This isn't "standard practice" when it comes to applications.

Describe the solution you'd like Implement a /minimized or similar flag into GameVault, and have the autostart be minimized while all others start as per normal.

@Yelo420, @Zallist was this included in #360 ?

--minimized is the same as --minimized=true --minimized=false will actually bypass the built in setting, so make visible even if autohidden by settings

Thanks for clarifying @Zallist.

Now we only need to configure GameVault to use --minimized on computer startup, but not on normal application starts if the start minimized setting is set.

Easy solution is to run a script on startup that starts with the flag.
