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 Exe...

I noticed this when the freshly returned "Unexpected error" window appeared before I had the chance to launch 1Password.
1Password_Community staff, please tell the developers that they do not choose what applications we autostart on our desktops and should never make such changes without our consent. We have the tools to autostart whichever applications we want on our desktop, however it does no harm to offer us this option within the application.
It would be nice to provide a `1password.desktop` which offers the options to start "silent", etc. Someone already did the work for you (and licensed it for your use) ten months ago.
The linked solution would be great but it does lack my preferred method of autostart which is just opening the app for me to authenticate without a flag (though maybe --lock or --toggle does something similar, I didn't check). The important thing to me would be the ability, either manually or through a UI, to configure the autostart in the way I prefer rather than to chattr on the file to make it work the way I want.
I completely agree with you, including the value of providing us the option to autostart 1Password on each of the available modes.
Nothing I mentioned is a solution or workaround to the problem of 1Password non-consensually installing the file, yet again indicating that 1Password does not adequately understand how software is used and managed on Linux platforms.
