Default Reaper startup options

Hi,

where can I find all available startup options for Reaper?
I know the "-new" option, so Reaper starts with an empty (or defined) template.

I'd like to start Reaper "silently" so without splash screen and after it's loaded it should stay minimized! The usual behaviour is, that after loading it get the focus, so Reaper will (eventually) pop up over your active/open application.

So I guess there are another startup options like -nosplash or -minimzed like other programs!?

Hi,

Here's the splash screen setting:



Normally you can change the minimize/maximize behavior in the shortcut properties (in Windows) but it doesn't appear to work for Reaper.

What you could do is use SWS Startup Actions.
The minimize reaper command ID is 41171
Add that to SWS Global Startup Actions and it should minimize Reaper after it opens (it will flash on your screen temporarily).
