It would be nice to have a Multiplatform hidden splash-loader.
(For the newLISP supported platforms)
This would inform the user about the ongoing load-process (of the java-RE) so he does not think that it hang etc.
Similar to Pjot's run wrapper or the solution from the code snippets.
the last guiserver 0.7 already had one on (only works on MacOS X), but I have disabled it for 0.8 (online later today), because I thought the short loading times wher not worth showing a spash screen. I may enable it again later.
... because I thought the short loading times wher not worth showing a spash screen.
On several of my WIN boxes (mostly not state of art) it is still worth to have it, because the combined demo takes long enough time to start.
(And I assume that real apps will have even more content)
only works on MacOS X
So would it be possible to get it on all platforms?
