Re: [SailfishDevel] Keep an application running without keeping the window open

Is there any minimal example I could take a look at? I've never done anything more with dbus than dbus-send. On 17.02.2018 22:06, Adam Pigg wrote: > Hi > > You could create a dbus service for the application to talk to.  The > gui application can launch the dbus service if it isnt running, and >
