Option to 'Start app minimized' doesn't work #76

Open xcpn opened 3 days ago

xcpn commented 3 days ago

We are happy to answer your questions about the code or discuss technical ideas.

Please complete the following checklist (by adding [x]):

I don't know if there is something I'm doing wrong or a problem with the app, but enabling the option to 'Start app minimized' does absolutely nothing.

If I quit the app and reopen it or if I reboot the system, the app window still launches. I also tried launching using the terminal with protonvpn-app --start-minimized and results to the same thing.

Here is some info:

The app is set as a startup application and the 'Ubuntu appindicator' extension is installed because I only use the VPN using the trey icon. The option to start minimized is enabled and a server to auto-connect on launch is set.

Confirmed here, too.

Hey all, thank you for your feedback. We've also confirmed this and it seems we've introduced a regression recently. Should be fixed in the next beta, thank you all!

calexandru2018 commented 1 day ago

Fix has been released on beta, please give it a try there.

xcpn commented 1 day ago

Hey @calexandru2018, I only use Stable. When will it hit the release to test?

Thanks for the fast fix.

calexandru2018 commented 1 day ago

@xcpn it should be out within a week or so.

v. 4.7.2 start minimized option works. But once the app is started minimized, I have no way to make the gtk window appear using the GNOME dash launcher. I can do it using Ubuntu AppIndicators VPN icon.

calexandru2018 commented 1 day ago

@fthx the idea was to only display it via the app indicator. What you're asking for is by clicking on the ProtonVPN icon, it should displayed ?

fthx commented 1 day ago

Yes that's what I mean.

Not displaying app at startup is very convenient. But after that I have often to access Proton VPN to cancel connection for another VPN, well I have to display its window. That's not annoying for those who want the app to be permanently hidden: they just have to not click on its icon! ^_^

And (as I wrote once), Ubuntu AppIndicators is a questionable extension (huge code, some bugs, power usage...). (I still can write a simple companion extension if there are now simple command line options.)
