Adding own startup applications (located in some private folder) to gnome-tweak-tool

[Joachim Backes]

Hi F25 users,

is it possible to add own startup applications located in some private 
folder to the gnome-tweak-tool submenu "startup applications"?

Any advice is welcome.

Kind regards

You may place a .desktop file into your ~/.config/autostart/ directory.

Hi Michael,
thanks for the hint. I made some .desktop file in ~/.config/autostart by 
copying and editing another one, but the entry won't appear in 
gnome-tweak-tool when trying to add this entry. Any important rules for 
the lines in such a  .desktop file?

Kind regards

Yes, the file must adhere to Freedesktop.org .desktop file standard. I will include 
a link to the standard as well as an example.
