10.4: Hide Terminal's window during launch at login
Authored by: barrysharp on May 23, '05 02:52:34PM

I'm not sure about your statement indicating that under 10.4 the Hide box being selected has no affect.

I have noticed that Terminal.app will not hide as you say, and I've found this to be annoying and thank you for the 'hint'.

However, I have several Apps launched at my login and they all hide with the one exception being Terminal.

...but now under 10.4.1 I now notice that my Mail.app login launch no longer hides itself along with Terminal - but all other do hide themselves. Very Strange and it appears the Hide box actions are either random and certainly aren't deterministic for me.

Isn't just as easy to click on the Terminal icon in the dock or download an app and use a hotkey to open terminal?

Yah. As I mentioned in the opening paragraph of the hint, having the Terminal.app 'pre-launched' at startup (to save those 2-3 seconds later) may not be like a big deal to most. However, if you use the Terminal as part of your daily work, it's just one of a myriad of (seemingly insignificant) details that makes the overall environment a bit more pleasant to work with. (Which for me, kinda embodies the entire reason I prefer OSX as my computing platform in the first place)
