  1. Mimiq

Deployment Options

Customize how Mimiq behaves for your facility or environment.

Activating

Activating a license can be done via the API:

mimiq://activate?key=[your license key]

Deactivation works via the same mechanism:

mimiq://deactivate

Autostart

By default, Mimiq launches when you log into your computer, but you can control whether Mimiq autostarts.

  1. In Terminal.app, tell Mimiq whether or not to autostart when you log into macOS.

Disable autostart

defaults write video.hedge.Mimiq.Mac launchAtLogin -bool false

Enable autostart

defaults write video.hedge.Mimiq.Mac launchAtLogin -bool true
  1. Commit the setting in Mimiq.

    • If Mimiq has already launched (i.e. in the menu bar):

      1. Quit Mimiq

      2. Relaunch Mimiq.

      3. Restart your Mac.

    • If Mimiq hasn't launched yet (i.e. not present in the menu bar):

      1. Launch Mimiq.

      2. Quit-then-relaunch Mimiq.

      3. Restart your Mac.

Then, use this Terminal command to check Mimiq's current autostart setting:

defaults read video.hedge.Mimiq.Mac launchAtLogin
  • launchAtLogin = 0 - Mimiq will not autostart when you log into macOS.

  • launchAtLogin = 1 - Mimiq autostarts when you log into macOS.

Use PowerShell to add this Registry key – Mimiq – then set it to the path where Mimiq is installed (likely, C:\Program Files\Mimiq\Mimiq.exe).

New-ItemProperty -Path "HKCU:\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run" -Name "Mimiq" -Value "C:\Program Files\Mimiq\Mimiq.exe" -PropertyType STRING -Force

That results in this new Registry key:

Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run\Mimiq

To disable autostart, remove the Mimiq Registry key:

Remove-ItemProperty -Path "HKCU:\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run" -Name "Mimiq"

Hide volumes and Workspaces list

Although this suppresses Mimiq from initially displaying the list of volumes and Workspaces after it launches, you can still view that list anytime by clicking the Mimiq icon in the menu bar (macOS) or System Tray (Windows).

  1. In Terminal.app, tell Mimiq whether or not to display the list of volumes and Workspaces after it launches.

Disable displaying the list of volumes and workspaces

defaults write video.hedge.Mimiq.Mac disableWindowPopup -bool true

Enable displaying the list of volumes and workspaces

defaults write video.hedge.Mimiq.Mac disableWindowPopup -bool false
  1. Commit the setting in Mimiq.

    • If Mimiq has already launched (i.e. in the menu bar):

      1. Quit Mimiq

      2. Relaunch Mimiq.

      3. Restart your Mac.

    • If Mimiq hasn't launched yet (i.e. not in the menu bar):

      1. Launch Mimiq.

      2. Quit-then-relaunch Mimiq.

      3. Restart your Mac.

Then, you can use this Terminal command to check whether Mimiq will display its list of volumes and Workspaces after it launches:

defaults read video.hedge.Mimiq.Mac disableWindowPopup
  • disableWindowPopup = 0 - Mimiq will display the list of volumes and Workspaces when you log into macOS.

Use PowerShell to add this Registry key – StartupWindowPopupEnabled – then set it to 0.

New-ItemProperty -Path "HKCU:\Software\Mimiq" -Name "StartupWindowPopupEnabled" -Value 0 -PropertyType DWORD -Force

Which results in this new Registry key:

Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Mimiq\StartupWindowPopupEnabled

You can then use Windows' Registry Editor to set StartupWindowPopupEnabled to:

  • 1 - Mimiq will display the list of volumes and Workspaces when you log into Window.

To remove the StartupWindowPopupEnabled Registry key:

Remove-ItemProperty -Path "HKCU:\Software\Mimiq" -Name "StartupWindowPopupEnabled"

Suppress app updates

Although this suppresses Mimiq from displaying app updates after it launches, you can check for an update anytime by clicking the Mimiq icon in the menu bar (macOS) or System Tray (Windows).

  1. In Terminal.app, tell Mimiq whether or not to display app update notifications after it launches.

Disable app update notifications

defaults write video.hedge.Mimiq.Mac disableUpdateNotifications -bool true

Enable app update notifications

defaults write video.hedge.Mimiq.Mac disableUpdateNotifications -bool false
  1. Commit the setting in Mimiq.

    • If Mimiq has already launched (i.e. in the menu bar):

      1. Quit Mimiq

      2. Relaunch Mimiq.

      3. Restart your Mac.

    • If Mimiq hasn't launched yet (i.e. not in the menu bar):

      1. Launch Mimiq.

      2. Quit-then-relaunch Mimiq.

      3. Restart your Mac.

Then, use this Terminal command to check whether Mimiq will display app update notifications after it launches.

defaults read video.hedge.Mimiq.Mac disableUpdateNotifications
  • disableUpdateNotifications = 1 - Mimiq will not display app update notifications when you log into macOS.

  • disableUpdateNotifications = 0 - Mimiq will display app update notifications when you log into macOS.

Use PowerShell to add this Registry key – CheckForUpdatesOnStartupEnabled – then set it to 0.

New-ItemProperty -Path "HKCU:\Software\Mimiq" -Name "CheckForUpdatesOnStartupEnabled" -Value 0 -PropertyType DWORD -Force

Which results in this new Registry key:

Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Mimiq\CheckForUpdatesOnStartupEnabled

You can then use Windows' Registry Editor to set CheckForUpdatesOnStartupEnabled to:

  • 0 - Mimiq will not display app update notifications when you log into Windows.

  • 1 - Mimiq will display app update notifications when you log into Windows.

To remove the CheckForUpdatesOnStartupEnabled Registry key:

Remove-ItemProperty -Path "HKCU:\Software\Mimiq" -Name "CheckForUpdatesOnStartupEnabled"

disableWindowPopup = 1 - Mimiq will not display the list of volumes and Workspaces when you log into macOS,

0 - Mimiq will not display the list of volumes and Workspaces when you log into Windows,
