Auto start effects upon startup

[doolhoofd]

Hi Greg,
First off, I remember James saying that:

FxSound should be remembering the last state the app was in on startup.

Secondly, I remember this workaround shared by @CDandVinyl:

I found a solution. I’m trying to always start the app with my chosen default preset, rather than have FxSound overwrite it on close.

I’ve managed to achieve his by setting the three config files in

AppData\Roaming\FxSound

to Read Only.

This way, the app will always start with your preferred settings in place and won’t overwrite them.

I also remember this one, shared by @metanoiance:

I wanted to share a simple workaround. Keep in mind that I am not a programmer and this is just a simple batch code I came up with.

Using Notepad I made a text file with the following lines and saved it as .bat.

taskkill /f /im FxSound.exe
cd C:\Program Files\FxSound LLC\FxSound
start /min FxSound.exe

Then I used the default Windows Task Scheduler to run the file on wake-up. Meaning everytime the PC wakes up from sleep or hibernation the FxSound.exe will be restarted. Note that the 2nd line in the .bat file can differ for you depending on where you installed FxSound.

Not the most elegant or ideal solution, but I hope this helps!

And finally, there’s also this request, which I added to the GitHub Issue Tracker about two weeks ago:

Adding an option in the Settings to enable/disable Launch of FxSound upon Startup

Please post back and let me know if this was helpful or not.
