Change to autostart on Linux in 8.12.12
The new Start at Login option in 8.12.12 places a .desktop file in ~/.config/autostart. I've always used this to autostart 1Password at login. The problem is, 1Password now overwrites my file's Exec= with a --silent flag suppressing the window for me to authenticate and unlock my browser. I've changed permissions on the .desktop file to read-only so that 1Password cannot modify the file but this is not ideal.
I've tried disabling the Start at Login option, which I would presume would then leave my folder alone, but instead it will seek out and delete any 1password.desktop file I place in there every time the application starts. Please have some option to allow the desktop application to OPEN at login rather than forcing it to start in the background as not all desktop environments have a tray (GNOME being the obvious one) for the user to invoke a backgrounded app in order to authenticate at login.
Though all things being equal I'd really prefer that you not modify files that I create.
