Feature Request: Start minimized / start in tray via CLI argument
Currently, when Internxt Drive is launched (either manually or via Task Scheduler "hidden" / third-party startup managers "hidden"), it always opens its window visibly. There is no way to suppress this behavior.
What I'd like
A CLI argument such as --minimized that tells the app to launch silently, without showing any window, going directly to the tray icon.
Or at least an option inside the app to start the app minimized
Why this matters
Many users (including myself) manage their startup applications via Task Scheduler or custom scripts. In these scenarios, having the app window pop up on every login is disruptive. Other similar apps (like Dropbox, OneDrive, Google, etc.) support this behavior natively.
Expected behavior
Internxt.exe --start-in-tray launches the app with no visible window. The tray icon is present and functional as usual.
Or "Startup minimized" in the options window
Current workaround
There is no clean workaround. Attempts to use ProcessWindowStyle.Hidden from external scripts or Task Scheduler's "Hidden" flag are ignored by Electron, as expected.
Additional context
This would be a small change in the main process — checking process.argv for the flag and skipping the initial window creation if it's present.
