Hi,
Autostart used to have (don't know how long ago) an option to temporarily
disable autostarting of entries. It was the checkbox that used to be in there.
The current autostart just doesn't have the option at all.
Granted, i only used this feature like a few times over the past decade or so.
My usecase? I had a few applications running at startup but had to disable them
because of a network bug i tried to solve on my end. Disabling and re-enabling
is easy and convenient.
I ended up removing them instead. And then re-adding them after i solved my
network issue.
In hindsight i discovered that this apparently now is done with user systemd
unit files. And if i had known that i would've just done "systemctl disable
<app>" ... But i didn't know.
Now this might raise a few "think about it" questions. Why would you,
essentially, maintain a minimal systemd gui? In the KDE camp there is also
SystemdGenie https://invent.kde.org/system/systemdgenie/ it would make a
million times more sense to have that project "provide" a KCM instead. In fact,
i'd consider that to be part of the KDE apps. I just installed it and the
installation package is only a mere ~280kb.
