Hi, in my Joplin Desktop on my EndeavourOS i3 I have the start minimized box ticked, but it doesnt start minimised.

Its started at startup in my i3 config file by:


exec --no-startup-id /opt/appimages/Joplin.AppImage

Anyone know how I can start it minimized?

Thanks

I believe minimising is disabled on linux entirely so the option won't do anything regardless of what you set. Something to do with the tray on GNOME not playing nicely I think?

Thanks @Daeraxa

So, I pondered a bit and thought that maybe I could get the behaviour I wanted by just killing the Joplin window straight after auto-starting it in my config, and after some searching I cobbled together this, which worked! :smiley:

#Autostart Joplin.Appimage 
exec --no-startup-id /opt/appimages/Joplin.AppImage
# Then shut Joplin window, leaving it running in Tray
exec --no-startup-id i3-msg '[class="Joplin"] kill'
