Minimize to tray on program startup for Win #15

Please provide capability to minimize app to tray on startup.

The app starts when your media players start so there's no real need for it to start at startup. The media players start with a --tray argument so that the window doesn't show.

It would be possible to add a shortcut in your startup folder thing (it's been a while since I've done that on Windows) with the --tray argument which starts the app minimised at Windows startup.

It could be added as an option, but as the app starts with media players so I don't think it's not a priority.

Ok I understand. But when I used yours older client (version 1.5.4.27091) it could start minimized. I used it with Aimp3. The plugin that was written for use your client knew about it and just start without any params. But now when I update client it always starts and shows on desktop. I don't have a capability to rewrite plugin for my player so if you could add this as an option, I will be very appreciative.

PS: I am very sorry for my English, I only begin to learning this language. And I did mistake, I didn't mean "startup" like windows start up, I meant when program run (program startup)

The --tray option was what was used with the old app too so it's strange that opening minimised doesn't work with Aimp3 anymore. Perhaps that's doing something different that isn't compatible anymore. I'll have a look into it at some point.
