Is it possible to start gsimplecal not visible? #5

Closed jfb3 closed 13 years ago

jfb3 commented 13 years ago

Is there some switch I'm missing that starts the calendar without it popping up on the screen when my desktop loads?

That would be a great option to have.

Why would you want to run gsimplecal together with your desktop? It's not some kind of daemon, it ought to be run only when you need it to be shown, e.g. when you click the clock on your panel or something. Please explain what do you mean.

That isn't clear in the documentation. The docs don't (that I can find) state how to start it at all. I assumed I had to start it at when my desktop was initiated.

As a matter of fact, if I don't execute gsimplecal at start-up it doesn't respond to a hot-key trigger until after the first time I've clicked on the tint2 clock.

Well, it might be not very clearly stated in docs, but here's the quote from the man page:

When it is started, it first shows up, when you run it again, it closes the running instance.

I'll think about how to clear that up.

As for the hot-key trigger: what kind of hot-key trigger are you using? How is it implemented?

jfb3 commented 13 years ago

After further testing, I was wrong. It does show up with via hot-key trigger as a first use. I was mistaken.

Thanks for gsimplecal!

You are welcome.

I figure we can consider this issue resolved, right?
