Is there a way to set that it starts minimized to tray?

[ghost]

I want that it starts minimized to tray on autostart.

There isn't. gtk4 does not support tray icons. When EasyEffects is started as a service easyeffects --gapplication-service it will keep running in the background even if you close its window. What is usually most people intention when trying to minimize to tray. There is no need to keep our window open in order to apply effects.

So what is the easy way to shut it down? (by easy I mean, no easyeffects -q)

[wwmm]

The shortcut Ctrl+Q.

[kubrickfr]

This requires the application to be opened and in focus though

[hboetes]

create a keybind that runs the command pkill easyeffects

[kubrickfr]

I'll never understand gnome/redhat for having dropped tray-icons support...

[hboetes]

I just created a startup script like this:

#!/bin/sh
if ! pgrep -f /usr/bin/easyeffects; then
    exec /usr/bin/easyeffects --gapplication-service &
    notify-send 'easyeffects daemon started'
else
    /usr/bin/easyeffects
fi

So it starts easyeffects in the background if it isn't running and opens the interface if it is.
