Not opening app window from dock icon on Mac

Duplicati works perfectly. Except that I cannot open the app window from the dock icon. When I click on the dock icon, it doesn’t seem to do anything. But it starts the Duplicati task in the background if it wasn’t already running. It just doesn’t open the app window.

I can open the app window with the tray icon or manually by opening http://localhost:8200/ in the browser.

macOS Sequoia 15.1.1
Duplicati 2.1.0.2_beta_2024-11-29

I see how that could make sense. The idea is to not have the app icon showing in the dock at all and just have it run in the background. This approach is similar to how, say Timemachine, is working.

But if you would like it to open the window when clicking the app icon in the dock, feel free to create a feature request.

Kenkendk, many thanks. Since I learned about the Tray icon invisible on Mac it makes sense to me, too. Problem solved.
