- I am launching NewsGrazer from a shell script which is run when my
- workspace starts up. I want NewsGrazer to hide when it starts, the same
- way it would if I started it from the dock at login. I checked "Hide On
- Atuo-Launch" in preferences for NewsGrazer, but it is not really getting
- "Autolaunched", since it isn't started from the workspace dock, but rather
- from this script.
-
- I tried setting "dwrite NewsGrazer NXAutolaunch YES" before launching the
- app, and I can see the default is set (via dread), but it still didn't
- hide.
-
- Is the any approved way to convince an app it has been autolaunched? Note
- that the script at workspace startup is run via the WorkSpace LaunchPaths
- default (if that makes any difference). Thanks in advance for any answers.
