I have Vorta selected to open automatically when I login through System Prefs > Users & Groups.

I wonder if it would be possible to have an option within Vorta to open at login?

Also - an option to open minimised to the menu bar so that the Vorta Settings window does not show automatically at launch is perhaps a good idea for any implementation of open at login?

Could make sense to add another tab for global settings. What comes to mind:

  1. start at login as suggested here. How to implement for Linux?
  2. Notifications on/off
  3. Open settings screen on start on/off
  4. Check for updates. (currently always happens on startup)
  5. Check for full disk access
  6. Use light/dark tray icon (system tray icon #74 )

for linux, many of these seem problematic:

  1. not sure if there even is one method that works for every WM/DE.
  2. same for that
  3. maybe this is not needed if we assume that vorta should usually just start and do its job in the background. the few times it needs to open settings could be just done manually (invoking it from the system tray). for devs there could be vorta --settings.
  4. this would be also a very unusual thing on linux, updates there are automatically installed from the distribution usually.

I see. So this will mostly be macOS-specific. Let me know if any other settings could make sense for Linux.

Agree. It should be clear enough from the GIF that there is a menu icon. So the main window doesn't open on startup any more since #63 (v0.5.1)

I'll still add those macOS goodies, but for Linux the focus will be on stability and bug from now on.

Added. For now there are 1 (Linux)/4 (macOS) options. But I suspect this to increase over time.

Correction: There is a conflict with the Keychain package. Can't add the login item stuff just yet. :-(
