I’m currently doing some scripting work. Maybe I’ve done something wrong. I also load lots of workbenches for that reason. I’m aware that workbenches are not automatically loaded on starttime. However.
Currently there is a large time gap between the splashscreen disappearing and the display of the first (white) screen of the app with my installation.
In my case it’s about 7 to 10 seconds where NOTHING is displayed at all and the user would be in doubt if the startup of FreeCAD has crashed.
I think the splashscreen should not disappear after a certain time but exactly with the appearance of the first app screen or even after this.
Maybe the place for removing the splashscreen in the code should be reconsidered. I think there should be no gap at all as it makes a bad first impression.
By the way. There is also an about 1 second time gap for the splashscreen to first appear after starting FreeCAD, which to me feels also quite long in comparison to some other apps. But that’s acceptable.
