Environment (please complete the following information):

• OS: Operating System: openSUSE Tumbleweed 20220711 KDE Plasma Version: 5.25.2 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.96.0 Qt Version: 5.15.5 Kernel Version: 5.18.9-2-default (64-bit) Graphics Platform: X11

Will try the FlatPak version and see if it works as expected.

KDE Plasma restarts applicatons that were running on shutdown. Since vorta runs in the background registered as a GUI app it is also restarted by KDE although vorta is not registered as a autostart app/script.

[RobDean69]

The flatpak version works OK in this regard so I'll stick with that.

@real-yfprojects, < KDE Plasma restarts applicatons that were running on shutdown> I'm not 100% sure what you mean here, if I have for example Chrome running when I shut down the PC, Chrome doesn't restart when I start the PC up again.

I'm not 100% sure what you mean here, if I have for example Chrome running when I shut down the PC, Chrome doesn't restart when I start the PC up again.

I always assumed that is an issue of Chrome. When using other apps (like Firefox or a non-browser app) you can see a different behaviour.

Same problem on XFCE (Xubuntu 22.10).

Can't reproduce with latest release. (on macOS)

[real-yfprojects]

Do you see a vorta.desktop file in ~/.config/autostart/?

[RobDean69]

I'm using the flatpak now so not seeing the issue. I'll leave it to others (@Weuxel ?) to comment, if not the issue can probably be closed.

[Weuxel]

Hello, yes, the file is present.

[real-yfprojects]

What happens if you start vorta from the terminal after quitting any running instance?

vorta

Can you check the database file located at ~/.local/share/Vorta/settings.db? The table settings model should have a row foreground holding 0 in the value column. You can use sqlitebrowser for that.

Vorta starts, the tray icon appears and the main window does not appear.

Yes, the 0 is present.

4 | foreground | 0 |   | Open main window on startup | Startup | checkbox

[real-yfprojects]

Ok, this is how vorta should behave. Then I have no idea why the main window does appear when you login. You could try disabling automatically start vorta at login and see whether vorta appears in the systemtray anyway.

[Weuxel]

automatic start at login is disabled, the file in .config/autostart/ is gone and the entry in XFCE autostart is also gone. Yet the vorta system tray icon appears on login. How and by what mechanism i do not know.

[real-yfprojects]

AFAIK xfce doesn't restore applications that were running when logging out. Did you have a look at other autostart locations? Also the parent of the vorta process might give information on who starts vorta. Otherwise I can't help you. I don't think there is anything vorta can do about it.
