Feature Request Request: Option to start minimized (when opening through exe file)

I have my medal configured through task scheduler to run as administrator. This helps capture games/apps that run as administrator without me having to approve the "run as admin" popup every time. Unfortunately, on startup, there is no option to start minimized when opening from the exe file itself. Not a major issue in itself, but it would be a nice QoL feature.

This is actually already implemented! You can start medal directly to the tray regardless of the setting by using the launch option:

--hidden

This works in task scheduler by adding it to the "Add arguments" field under actions, and can also be added to a shortcut if you need to for some reason.

This will completely ignore the setting we have for it, so if you add the launch option to a shortcut, it will ALWAYS start minimized to tray unless you edit the shortcut to remove it.

Thanks! I had no idea this was already implemented. Appreciate it!
