According to http://help.libreoffice.org/Common/Starting_the_Software_With_Parameters executing soffice.exe --minimize will "Starts minimized. The splash screen is not displayed." Indeed the splash screen is not displayed but the program window opens normally (i.e. not minimized to the taskbar)
Correction: the command is soffice.exe --minimized (it was a typo in the bug report not in the procedure) This still applies to LO 4.0.3.3 under Windows XP x86 (didn't test other Win versions)

(In reply to comment #2) > Created attachment 89916 [details] > stampa dell'errore I think this screenshot was added to the wrong bug. In any case the bug still occurs with Version: 4.1.3.2 Build ID: 70feb7d99726f064edab4605a8ab840c50ec57a
(In reply to comment #0) > According to > http://help.libreoffice.org/Common/Starting_the_Software_With_Parameters > > executing soffice.exe --minimize will "Starts minimized. The splash screen > is not displayed." According to the man page for 3.5.7: --minimized Keeps the splash screen minimized. Per current sources: http://opengrok.libreoffice.org/xref/core/sysui/desktop/man/libreoffice.1 --minimized Keeps the splash screen minimized. > Indeed the splash screen is not displayed but the program window opens > normally (i.e. not minimized to the taskbar) It looks like the Online Help Wiki might incorrectly describe expected behavior. Punting this over to Documentation for review. Status -> NEW
@Qubit, "Keeps the splash screen minimized" doesn't make any sense. It's the groklaw description that is wrong. In any case you are missing the point: this is NOT a documentation problem! --minimized simply doesn't work! NOTHING is minimized!

The description could be better-worded (perhaps "Do not show the splash screen"), but it does describe a real phenomenon. > In any case you are missing the point: this is NOT a documentation problem! > --minimized simply doesn't work! NOTHING is minimized! Try comparing the result of the following two commands: ./soffice ./soffice --minimized Note that in the first case you will see a splash screen appear; in the second case, you will see no splash screen.
(In reply to comment #6) > The description could be better-worded (perhaps "Do not show the splash > screen"), but it does describe a real phenomenon. It is simply wrong. The start screen is NOT minimized (otherwise it would show as a minimized task) it simply is not DISPLAYED. The original message (see Comment #1) was correct. The problem still remains that LO is NOT started minimized. > Note that in the first case you will see a splash screen appear; in the > second case, you will see no splash screen. I know that. See Comment #1 from November 2012...
