Is there anyway to use launch() but have the app be minimized when it loads so it doesn’t cover the Processing sketch?

if you’re on a mac launch() uses the “open” command. You might be able to use the -g flag before the path.
lauch("-g /Path/to/file/or/app");
from the open man page:-g Do not bring the application to the foreground.
edit: I just tested. Adding the flag on mac doesn’t work.

That is creative and I salute the effort!

For what it is worth I tried to launch() the sketch itself once it was running to kind of put it back on top per se. This did not work either.

That too is quite clever!
I got curious and looked at the launch() command on processing’s github to see if there was a way to pass flags within the arguments but i didn’t have the mental fortitude this time of night nor the knowledge of java to follow what’s going on in there.
