it may requires an additional flag to read on startup like and it could be added in the macOS wrapper and in the Windows wrapper to always start minimized |
|
This would also be a nice feature for linux, especially starting minimized. |

### What does this PR do?
* Adds the option and ability to configure if Podman Desktop should
start minimized
* Moves window.show() from 'ready-to-show' to app.whenReady(). Why? Because
Electron is incorrectly showing the window before configuration is
has been read or fully loaded (ipcMain.emit('configuration-registry') being called).
This fixes the issues of Podman Desktop being shown before it's ready
/ 'background flicker'.
Tested on dev / prod mode on Linux & dedicated Windows machine

### What does this PR do? * On Windows & macOS, there is now an option to minimize on login. Electron does this by reading the argsv value and seeing if --minimized has been passed in through the macOS / Windows startup scripts. ### Screenshot/screencast of this PR <!-- Please include a screenshot or a screencast explaining what is doing this PR --> ### What issues does this PR fix or reference? <!-- Please include any related issue from Podman Desktop repository (or from another issue tracker). --> Closes containers#868 ### How to test this PR? On MacOS: 1. `yarn compile` 2. Move the binary to your applications folder 3. Launch Podman Desktop + enable minimize setting 4. Logout and login your computer. On Windows: 1. `yarn compile` 2.

OPTIONALLY you can test this by navigating to `C:\Users\admin\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup`, finding Podman Desktop and running the vbs script which will imitate first-login. <!-- Please explain steps to reproduce --> Signed-off-by: Charlie Drage <charlie@charliedrage.com>

On Microsoft Windows, it would be nice to have an option to minimize podman desktop on start so it doesn't open a new window every time I reboot the computer.
Microsoft Teams calls it "open application in background"
