Description Tomsk 2019-01-06 17:11:48 UTC 
I just installed latte-dock from repo, I use KDE Neon and autostart doesn't work.



I went into Preferences and checked Enable autostart during startup and clicked on OK, and when I clicked on OK, then that checkbox changed state to unchecked and didn't save it.

1. what is your latte version?

2.that option copies the latte desktop file into your directory:

"~/.config/autostart"

if you enable that option and click apply, isnt a file called:

"org.kde.latte-dock.desktop"

placed in that directory?

3. If you run in a terminal:

"ls /usr/share/applications/*latte*"

what is it show afterwards?
Comment 3 Tomsk 2019-01-06 18:39:28 UTC 
1. My version is 0.8.4
2. Directory ~/.config/autostart-scripts/ is empty after clicking ok
3. Output is:
/usr/share/applications/org.kde.latte-dock.desktop

But I didnt ask about "autostart-scripts" I asked about "autostart". Dont you have an "~/.config/autostart" folder?
Comment 5 Tomsk 2019-01-06 18:44:56 UTC 
No, ~/.config/autostart folder is missing.

ok, because you dont have the autostart folder Latte couldnt update autostart in your system. You can wait for 0.8.5 or you can manually do it:

1. Create folder "~/.config/autostart"
2. Copy file "usr/share/applications/org.kde.latte-dock.desktop" into the previous folder you created at [1]

that is all you need to do
