Re: Are the messages on the splash screen useful?
Terrence, Any mails you sent to the list recently appear to be empty, not only for me locally but also at e.g. <http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/libreoffice/2012-September/039011.html>. (Given that Ivan apparently quotes your message intact in another answer to this mail, maybe you sent it to both him personally and the list, and there's some problem on your end sending mails to the list?)

Moreover, messages come from They are useful when we're doing a first-ever startup, and a lot of heavy-lifting gets done during that first run: creating your home directory skeleton, compiling help, registering extensions etc. etc. Luckily a lot of this is getting a lot quicker with Stephan's work, and we shouldn't really be stuffing tons of duplicate stuff in per-user directories anyway, so - perhaps in future it'll not be necessary (we hope ;-). I guess for slow tasks, it gives the user the impression something is happening while they start [ though the progress bar can give that too but is not very granular ].

Forgot to mention: on linux the messages are not shown at all. Another reason to remove them completely. :) Cheers, Ivan ___ LibreOffice mailing list LibreOffice@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/libreoffice

Are the messages on the splash screen useful?
Hi, There is Bug 52268 - Splash Screen: Messages on first start displayed in wrong colour in the wrong place https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=52268 and what I want to do is to remove those messages. Is that OK? I cannot imagine when the messages can be really useful. Moreover, messages come from commit 85c93f5779b0382769cf9dfb5a6306a018c17edd Author: Dirk Voelzke Date: Tue Apr 20 07:59:05 2010 +0200 jl152 import 263447 from native0jl:#i77196# Show progress on startup i.e. only 2010, the API (SplashScreen::setText()) was there since the first commit.
