Start Minimised option

[AtomicRobotMan0101]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

Not a problem, just to save an elaborate workaround using devilspie or some other scripting nonsense.

I use Mint Cinnamon. It has a Startup app in which one can put apps to start at startup :) It doesn't however, have a convenient "start this minimised" tickbox or such feature. It is a simple command line parsing tool.

Describe the solution you'd like On open, start minimised.

fsearch --minimised (or in USA parlance --minimized) OR an option within Preferences.

Describe alternatives you've considered Ive tried a script using devilspie and other exotics such as https://askubuntu.com/questions/663187/how-can-i-run-a-program-on-startup-minimized but I feel these are Too Damned Much Effort for such a simple thing.

Additional context

NIL.

BTW, I love this tool. Its the bees-knees. 👍🏼 It has serious everything vibes, but better cos its Linux 👍🏼

Hi, thanks for the request. This feature is quite useful to have (also during development, because then I don't have to minimize the window manually every time a debug build is launched). So I just added it. :)

It'll be released as part of the 0.3 release, so you won't be able to use it right away; unless you're building the in-development code for 0.3 yourself (which I don't recommend, as it's not quite ready yet for daily usage).

Edit: Forgot to mention how it can be used. I've added the --minimized command line option. So:

• fsearch --minimized will open FSearch minimized or if the application is already running, it'll minimize the most recently used window
• fsearch --new-window --minimized also works and it'll minimize the newly created window
