Silent autostart (Linux Mint) #41

Closed Mark3xtrm closed 5 months ago

Mark3xtrm commented 5 months ago

At the moment, it seems that's not possible to start dpscreenocr without having its window opened. I don't need to use the window, I'd just want to use the ocr screenshot reading feature through the setted keyboard shortcut.

Also, and maybe obviously, I don't want to start the app manually, and so I'd be great if there was a "autostart at system startup" feature (with, like said before, no window opened and then showed).

dpScreenOCR currently doesn't have a checkbox "autostart at system startup", but you can always add it to the startup manually (https://community.linuxmint.com/tutorial/view/988). Then, edit the settings file as described in the Tweaking section of the user manual to enable the ui_window_minimize_on_start and ui_window_minimize_to_tray options, and you will get exactly the behavior you need.

My bad, I didn't pay attention to all the Tweaking options. It does exactly what I wish, thanks, @danpla 🙏🏼
