Auto start after desktop logged in about fsearch HOT 4 CLOSED

Thanks for the clue @danielkrajnik! you're right I can do the setting on the Startup Application Preferences. Adding this command worked fine for me: /usr/bin/fsearch . I rarely use this startup app setting simply just to make the Gnome light (I'm aware that the term "light" is rather subjective for some people), so it is a bit forgotten.

Sure, I will check the other features that might fit my preference and then will post it when I find it. Hopefully Gnome has that similar feature.

This sounds more like a Desktop Environment feature than an application like Fsearch? If you copy/symlink fsearch.desktop file into your ~/.config/autostart folder it should autostart on login, no? Or maybe Gnome has some autostart menu in their settings?

Fsearch also should have an option already to update the index on start:

Starting in the background is definitely something Gnome/KDE should provide. Not sure about Gnome but in KDE you can do that with window rules:

If you'd like to make your desktop environment leaner in general I'd recommend looking into window managers. Features you described and more are more polished there (e.g. qtile, awesome or even hyprland).

You can do this in GNOME using the "Tweaks" application:

As such, I would suggest closing this ticket.

Yes, automatically starting the app should be handled by the desktop environment. But we can add a section to FSearch Wiki on how that can be done.
