Summary
Adds a "Launch on startup" toggle to the Library settings popover. Uses Electron's
app.setLoginItemSettings()andapp.getLoginItemSettings()APIs to register the app as a login item on macOS and Windows.Changes
src/main/ipc/config.js: Importappfrom electron. Theget-settingshandler now readsapp.getLoginItemSettings().openAtLoginand returns it alongside other config. Thesave-settingshandler callsapp.setLoginItemSettings()whenopenAtLoginchanges.src/renderer/history.html: New toggle switch row in the settings popover (between Theme and Shortcut). Uses the orange accent color (#EC5B16) to match the existing VideoDB palette. CSS-only toggle, no external dependencies.src/renderer/history.js: Syncs the checkbox state when the popover opens, and callsconfigAPI.saveConfig({ openAtLogin })on change.The setting is managed by Electron directly (not persisted in the config JSON file), so it survives app reinstalls and works across both macOS login items and the Windows startup registry.
Default is off (opt-in).
