Startup Applications - Only allows 1 app to add to startup

Using Zorion 17.3 Pro
Startup Applications. I cannot add more than one application. If I add a second app to the Startup Applications, the previous one removes itself automatically. I am trying to have 3 apps in total open upon startup.

Any tips would be appreciated
Thanks

Hi, I don't have Pro and don't use Startup applications. However, because you have Pro you are entitled to support directly from Team Zorin via this page:

Can You tell us what Program You want add?

I'm not sure if this is supposed to be a bug or a feature (I'm sure there is some reason for it) but if you're trying to run the same command that would overwrite the previous file.

For example, if you want to create the following entry:

The base command is bash, which creates the appropriate file named at ~/.config/autostart/bash.desktop:

Adding another entry using the same command (/bin/bash in this example) would create a file with that same name, overwriting any other file already present.

So, the question is: are you trying to run the same command multiple times? If you are, you should put all the commands into a single shell script and invoke that from there. Or, create the autostart files manually with different names.
