Is the app in the /Applications
folder? Mine is working fine.
No, it is in /Users/peter/Applications. Can you explain why it should be in /Applications? Permissions/automation?
I would say because most of the macOS APIs assume apps are present in the /Applications folder. Why? That's where they go if you install through the Mac App Store. I don't know what Apple's code look like, but my guess is that the "launch on login" list only keeps the name of the application. Later when they try to find the app, they look for it in the default path.
The settings pane is different. It's not sandboxed, therefore it has the privilege to read the fullpath of an application. That's probably why you don't have to put an app in a specific directory for it to work.
Thanks for explaining. Doesn't solve it though
Let me reset my launch items and give it a try. In the meanwhile could you please try to disable then enable it to see if that solves the problem?
So the latest release is working for me. It gets added to launch items immediately.
You can confirm by checking the output of /System/Library/Frameworks/CoreServices.framework/Frameworks/LaunchServices.framework/Support/lsregister -dump | grep Dynamic
)
Hoe do i reset my launch items?
/System/Library/Frameworks/CoreServices.framework/Frameworks/LaunchServices.framework/Support/lsregister -kill
In the past 2 weeks, on my machines Dynamic Dark Mode always opens on start. If this is still happening to you, I don't really know what else we can do, but you can reopen the issue to add more inputs.
when clicking start at login nothing happens at restart/login If I drag the launcher app manually to login items prefpane it works.
