Zotero 5 standalone in system tray?
I can't say I'm a fan of making Zotero standalone-only now, given it means for FF users like me having to launch Zotero separately everytime I need it, but I get the reasoning behind it. I hope though more work is planned for improving its integration with the browser to try and minimise the faff this change has created.
Most obviously: Zotero standalone needs to be minimisable to the system tray - so it doesn't needlessly take up space on the task bar - and it needs an option to automatically launch at start up. These changes would basically make it work as well as it did previously.

I really don't want to be adding manual fixes for what seems to me to be a pretty standard feature of software, particularly one I'm paying $20 a year for, and I'm on Windows 7, not like Linux or anything obscure. Literally every other piece of software I have which does a similar background/storage role to Zotero - discord, dropbox, drive, spotify etc - has both these features.
I really hope the Zotero team do add them.
For what it's worth, on macOS it's now possible to close the main window and have the program stay open.

I'm using Zotero Standalone version 5.
is there an update regarding zotero minimize to system tray with a built in feature? Would appreciate that.
Specialy for Linux, because Windows users already have it in the form of RBtray.
