Autostart doesn't work on Linux

[hexion]

Running on Ubuntu 16.04, with a gnome-flashback DE.

The application is installed by default on /opt/Desktop Dimmer/ if installed via the .deb package.
Selecting the "Launch on startup" setting does create an entry to auto start the application, but it fails to escape the space in the path, rendering the autostart unusable.

/opt/Desktop Dimmer/desktop-dimmer --hidden
should be
/opt/Desktop\ Dimmer/desktop-dimmer --hidden

Or even simpler, and considering the .deb package installs a link in /usr/local/bin, another option is to remove the path from the launcher command:
desktop-dimmer --hidden

Thanks for the report. Please re-test with v2.5.2 and comment if this helps.

Same results.
I deleted the startup entry, updated the app to 2.5, then re-launched it.
A new startup entry was created:

Name: desktop-dimmer
Command: /opt/Desktop Dimmer/desktop-dimmer --hidden
Comment: desktop-dimmerstartup script

The space in "Desktop Dimmer" is still not escaped, and so the application fails to auto start:

$ /opt/Desktop Dimmer/desktop-dimmer --hidden
bash: /opt/Desktop: No such file or directory

Thanks for the follow-up. The issue has been addressed, please re-test with version v2.7.0 and post your results. Cheers.

I'm afraid that the fix put into 2.7.0 didn't fix the issue: $ "/opt/Desktop Dimmer/desktop-dimmer --hidden" bash: /opt/Desktop Dimmer/desktop-dimmer --hidden: No such file or directory The quote should be closing after the file path, and not include the parameters. eg) $ "/opt/Desktop Dimmer/desktop-dimmer" --hidden Hope that helps.

A third-party module, node-auto-launch, is the culprit here, regardless of it having a near 100% test coverage. Hence we integrated our own patched version of this library, in v2.7.2. Please re-test. Thanks for your accurate and timely reports.

I can confirm it is fixed now, the startup link created is now valid and autostart is working fine.
Thanks for fixing it!
