Clipit indicator

Asked by Bolvary Ors

Clipit appears in the applet indicator when started but there is no possibility to start it at login. Is there a way to load it automatically?

Thanks

How do you run the app yourself?

I can run it from dash and then appears as indicator, but after restart it does not appear any longer. Thus, I have to start it again from dash.

Great! Then this is easy.

ln -s /usr/share/applications/clipit.desktop ~/.config/autostart/clipit.desktop

There is a startup application for configuring startup stuff but all it does is make files in ~/.config/autotart. That command does it manually :)
