jerry533482 Posted July 9, 2010 Share Posted July 9, 2010 I know that PDN is supposed to be a program that starts up REALLY fast, but I've noticed that when power users load all their favorite plugins into PDN (usually 2 to 3 hundred), it can take as long as 30 seconds to start up. And while it's starting up, it looks as if it has stopped responding. So, why not add a startup screen like in GIMP? To keep users "in the know"? It might clear up a lot of confusion.

Frontcannon Posted July 9, 2010 Share Posted July 9, 2010 PDN is a very small application. On up-to-date computers a 'loading screen' would be completely unnecessary imo (it takes ~ 1 sec to start up for me)...

Goonfella Posted July 9, 2010 Share Posted July 9, 2010 Same here. I just keep my regular plug ins installed. If I need another one for something I`ll install it. No point in overloading the program with them. Quote Please feel free to visit my Gallery on PDNFans And my Alternatives to PDN Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pyrochild Posted July 9, 2010 Share Posted July 9, 2010 ...when power users load all their favorite plugins into PDN (usually 2 to 3 hundred)... That doesn't make you a power user, it makes you a packrat. Just keep the plugins you use frequently installed, and keep the rest archived somewhere. Or just be like me and delete them and redownload when you need them. That way, you never even have to worry about being out-of-date!

Rick Brewster Posted July 9, 2010 Share Posted July 9, 2010 No. GIMP has a splash screen because it's a giant bloated piggy. Paint.NET is taking awhile to load on your system because your computer is loaded down, not because Paint.NET is slow. Not having a splash screen also keeps me more accountable for maintaining good startup performance. It's never coming back and I find it comical that you're asking for its return! What will you ask for next, a splash screen for Firefox?

Lance McKnight Posted July 10, 2010 Share Posted July 10, 2010 Many, many moons ago, it did have start up screen, but now, it doesn't, and I'm very glad. Quote Officially retired from this forum. Have a nice day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
