[feature suggestion] Auto-start with desktop restart #205

Open yurivict opened 6 years ago

yurivict commented 6 years ago

I believe, one way to do this is to create the .desktop file in ~/.config/autostart/. qTox, for example, does it this way.

However, window managers have the propensity to auto-start such applications several times during restart.

You can create the desktop file ~/.config/autostart/glogg.desktop

[Desktop Entry]
Type=Application
Name=glogg
Exec="/usr/local/bin/glogg" "--autostart"

and, using DBus, ensure that it isn't started several times.

Glogg already uses dbus or socket ipc to avoid launching several instances. This is default when invoking glogg without arguments.

Is there anything more to do within glogg?
