Starting Kleopatra minimized to system tray?

Gpg4win

Is there a command line argument for starting kleopatra to the system tray? Or an option to have it auto-start with windows to the system tray?

Basically I use Gpg4win to sign my GitHub commits via GitHub desktop, but it doesn’t work unless I run Kleopatra first. I’ve tried plenty of other ways to try and get GPG running in the background without having to do it through Kleopatra but nothing seems to work, so this seems like the easiest option.

I tried doing “kleopatra --help” from this page but it said unknown option, so not sure if that’s outdated or what.

Hello ThioJoe,

welcome to the forum!

Have you tried the following on the cli to start the gpg-agent?

gpg-connect-agent reloadagent /bye

Note that starting kleopatra in the right directory (or with the full path) works, e.g.

c:\Program Files (x86)\Gpg4win\bin>kleopatra.exe --help

and the mentioned command line flag there, also works, e.g.

c:\Program Files (x86)\Gpg4win\bin>kleopatra.exe --daemon
