Hi @ALEX5402,

This is good, but as I read through the discussion, both parties have good thoughts about this.

You can move this line to ./userprefs.t2 (

hyprdots/Configs/.config/hypr/userprefs.t2

Line 25 in 4c16d55

) so we can make this optional.

I encourage you to make this optional as honestly this will become a burden for maintaining the repo, as by default we don't know what packages/services are run on startup.

Can you explain more about the script? What I understand of the script is it will extract the "Exec=" part, which is the command to launch an app, nothing fancy.

What you are saying is the script can pinpoint which users enabled the startup "from inside the app" ?
Or you are saying that $AUTOSTART_DIR is respected by most apps, and enabling it to run at the startup "from inside the app". Which I assumed that the application adds the .desktop file entry to the $AUTOSTART_DIR?
