Startup/autostart not working
I try to add an app to startup autostart, but after going through the menus, it does not apper on the list of autostart apps (empty), and does not work. I have tried adding a command as well, but the same result. Could it be a directory not existing issue?
theShell follows the XDG autostart specification so if you look in ~/.config/autostart you'll find all of the files. Try copying a desktop file from /usr/share/applications there and it should hopefully work 😅
As for the UI, I'm not too sure why that's broken. I'll need to look into it.
Wow, you replied fast... Thanks! I will try what you suggested and get back to you
I just made the .config/autostart folder, and then adding one from the ui worked, so you may want to add a mkdir command in your code somewhere, thanks for replying again!
Gotcha. I'll just need to make sure the GUI creates the autostart folder if it's not already there. Thanks for letting me know :)
should probably keep open until you add the code... :D. (Unless if you want to close it)
Feature requests can be here too, but theShell is currently nearing EOL.
If you're still interested in a desktop environment from me, check out theDesk.
The shell is near end of life? Really? Wow... Did you post about that on your website? I have briefly tried the desk - there wasnt much info about it, so I stayed with the shell.

I have not formally announced that theShell is EOL yet but once theDesk is released I will be encouraging everyone to shift over to theDesk.
I announce most of my software releases and general announcements on Discord.
Yeah, that makes sense. I tend to stay away from discord myself for privacy concerns. Will shellOS be renamed? (Not that I use it, just interested)

Do you recommend I switch now, or should I wait until the offical release? (Very off topic :D)

Most likely; stay tuned for updates 🙃

Your choice. You can also theoretically run it next to theShell if you wanted. :)
