Toggle Startup Or Default to "Activated!"

[johnnywagner]

Currently using the latest 1.7 beta with Arte's adapter:
It would be nice if the program either had a toggle to activate on launch or more cleanly did this by default. Right now you have to launch the application, launch slippi, then activate the driver to get going. I know you can set this app to launch on startup but I don't want to do that and you still have to toggle it on.

As an aside, with a custom launch script (see below) you can automate the startup and launch of both apps but you still need to manually activate the driver in the menu bar everytime. Is there a way to toggle activation from a custom script? I figure not but it's worth asking inside of this Issue as it would solve my problem.

custom launch script

tell application "Slippi Launcher" to launch
tell application "GCAdapterDriver-1.7" to launch

repeat
    delay 3
    if not (application "Slippi Launcher" is running) then
        tell application "GCAdapterDriver-1.7" to quit
        exit repeat
    end if
end repeat
quit

The reason it's done this way is unfortunately due to DriverKit oddities. I originally did want to do it that way because it is annoying to have to toggle it each time, but in practice it causes problems and confusion and led to more time debugging random user setups.

It's possible it's different/fixed in more modern macOS releases but I'm not sure I'll dedicate the time to debugging across releases at this point. To be clear it's also only necessary to do that flow when you've booted your computer; you can leave it enabled after first toggle and it won't interfere with anything else for the duration of the OS uptime.
