Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
What steps will reproduce the problem?

2.Edit it to be minmized
3.Add it to autostartup apps

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Trying a minimized shortcut and adding it to autostart apps, the app doesnt 
startup "minimized"

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
latest, windows 8 (64 bit) & 7 (64 bit)

Please provide any additional information below.
Please add this feature in the new version or if theres a workaround it would 
be awesome.

Thank you.

Use the "-hidden" command line parameter for that.

Hello there, if this item is added as ""autostartup"" after adding the 
"-hidden" it still doesnt start minimized/hidden no matter what i try.

Thanks for your input.

Probably you are doing something wrong:

Open the shortcut properties and add the -hidden parameter to the executable. 
It must look like this:

"C:\Program Files\Transmission Remote GUI\transgui.exe" -hidden

Just tried the following:

1- Created a new shortcut to (run) shell:startup items
2- Target: "C:\Program Files (x86)\Transmission Remote GUI\transgui.exe" -hidden

When i try to run the shortcut normally it starts minimized, but when it tries 
to autostart (windows statup apps) it doesnt start minimized.

Indeed, sometimes transgui does not start minimized when running from the 
Startup folder. Will try to find out why it happens.

Great to hear you acknowledged the problem :)

A workaround i thought about today, create a new file transmission.bat, add the 
following lines :
@echo off
start "" "C:\Program Files (x86)\Transmission Remote GUI\transgui.exe" -hidden
exit

And then include that file to your startup items and voila :)

The issue has been fixed in r859. 
The bat file will not help. Due to incorrect handling of Windows log off the 
"run" file is left in the "\Users\*\AppData\Local\Transmission Remote GUI" 
folder. If this file is present, transgui fails to start minimized.
You need to delete this file in your bat file and then transgui will start 
minimized as expected.
