Request: Option to start the app in the tray (even when starting the app manually after login) #371

Closed RavenMacDaddy closed 6 days ago

This is especially useful as the app needs to be restarted after updating it; in order to be running the latest version.

Personally, I've it installed through the package manager called Scoop, for reference.

Thank you for your work.

I'm not at my computer at the moment, but I think you could try running CompactGUI -tray for now.

Which is indeed a great suggestion — and good to know that the capability exists in that form already.

One of the things that makes things more complicated, specifically with shortcuts created by Scoop, is that if the app in question is reset, then any added arguments for those shortcuts are also reset (i.e., removed in this case).

I could of course create my own shortcut, but then I'd have duplicates — not the worst thing, but still a thing.

Having the option available through the GUI, for example in a sub-menu that is accessed by clicking on an “Advanced” button, would be a great addition — e.g., Always start the app in the tray.

Makes sense, and yes of course I can add the option :)
