Don't auto switch to desktop n #10

It would be very great option if the launched app did not switch to its desktop - so I could launch apps as background tasks on desktop N. Or if it's not possible, could VDesk switch back to current desktop?

I mean 1 - get current desktop number A 2 - launch app 3 - wait until app has created its window and desktop B activates 4 - switch back to desktop A

Now I can make a workaround by calling vdesk twice, performing step 3 inbetween with another piece of software, then calling a dummy app for desktop A in step 4. Still, the taskbar contains the app of desktop B on desktop A, but it's no problem. The flash of switching desktops is more annoying.

Thanks for this must have (for me) software!

Yeah, it'll be a great feature.

Will try to implement and inform you if I succeed.

This has been fixed in 6f19ad6f9389b3a1ddb87d19b2d95e0efd210e32 switching to the desktop where the app is launched is no longer the default.
