Start minimize to tray

[Cyda]

This is a superb bit of software but can we please get an option to start minimised to tray? Having to minimise it each time it is launched becomes tiresome. Pretty please?

That option would be nice to have, but you can have that already.

1) Enable Minimize to Tray and Admin mode in LS Settings.
2) Close LS, go to the installation folder and make a shortcut of the exe.
3) Right-click the shortcut, Properties, set Run to Minimized
4) Go to Compatibilty tab and enable Run as Admin, click Apply, and done.
5) Start LS via the shortcut.

Thanks, I'll give that a try. I start LS via a Task Scheduler job, so I don't have to click the UAC prompt each time, so I don't think your method is possible for me. I'm sure most users would prefer to have a simple option toggle in the settings rather than a 5 point step guide though. ;)

[Gizzmoe]

Yes :)

You can disable that annoying thing.

yeah i was launching the app via a vbs script in the startup folder so i could launch the app as admin at login, otherwise it wasnt working. with gizzmos instructions i can just change the script to a new shortcut instead (lossless scaling.lnk). will find out later when i restart my pc if it works or not in order to launch as minimised at startup as admin.

as for the UAC prompt, i disabled that long time ago, since i run quite a bit of my apps as admin, that prompt needed to gtfo lol.

I found this argument to start minimized for task scheduler "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Lossless Scaling\LosslessScaling.exe" -StartMinimized

(also, it's required "run with highest privileges" and some delay startup to minimized properly like 30s)

(This is work without need shortcut or UAC prompt)
