Mark Hammond added the comment: The problem is that Explorer displays the IDC_APPSTARTING icon when an app launches, until that app does something ui-ish (eg, creating a window, fetching a windows message). I could reproduce the problem on XP, and pushed a fix for the launcher to https://bitbucket.org/vinay.sajip/pylauncher/commits/639582f0bebbabbf63fe8746986122173e765baf which solves the problem for me.
I'm not sure what the process is for getting that fix into the Python repo - hopefully Vinay knows :) ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue17290> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
