as someone who is not running eM Client on a toaster, the splash screen is only visible for a second or even a fraction of a second. So basically the splash screen is briefly flashing before one second or less later the application is started.
I would like to ask to introduce a configuration option to disable the splash screen permanently.
By disabling I mean not just hiding, but preferably the code for the splash screen is not even executed and no additional delay is introduced.
I think it is a good idea to have an option, but the splash screen should be enabled by default. Later it can be disabled by the user, because some users have issues starting the application, and without a splash screen they end up starting the application again, and again, and again. Or at least trying to.
I agree. An option to disable the Splash Screen is necessary. Please follow through on this option for those of us who prefer not to see it when EMC loads. Thanks in advance.
I terminate every application whenever i donāt need it for a while. It is my way of work.
I do start eM Client more then 100 times a day.
When I go sleep I can see eM Clientās splash screen in my dreams. Nightmareā¦
Please make an option to disable it.
Hi,
Is there a need to start 2 times emclient at the same time ?
This is just a suggestion i use āMutexā at my programs so they can start only 1 time.
I personally like the splash screen, but yes could have an option to disable the splash screen.
One issue with disabling a startup splash screen is that you donāt know if a program is actually loading, particularly with large programs or large databases etc that can take time to load. Nothing worse than when you click a program and you are sitting there and donāt know if anything is happening.
Of course, thats why it should be opt-in. But emclient never failed to load on my system and I see the splash screen for 2 seconds, which is just annoying. Not a big deal, but so shouldnāt be adding the option.
Maybe harsh words but not a harsh opinion. Splash screens are a nuiscance to many people. For me, it makes me feel the app is slow, when it reminds you that itās loading. It should be fairly obvious that apps needs to load up before they can be used. I never, ever, feel clueless if I donāt see an interface right away, unless they take really (really) long time to load, and even then, a splash screen is not the solution to make users happy. EMC is definitely not slow to boot up, so thereās no reason for a splash screen whatsoever. Itās just bad design: Comparing it with loader-images on websites or hour glass/spinning wheel mouse cursor in operating systems, itās not the same case. In those use cases, the loading (or process) indications are needed, since itās not that obvious whatās going on and the user needs to be aware. Again, user doesnāt need to be aware that their trusty email app is loading up ā¦ Thatās the rationale against splash screens in my personal opinion.
In the email client The Bat this works fine with the addition /NOLOGO in the command line.
I also hope that it will be implemented in eM Client somehow, also for the Mac version.
The splash screen needs an option to be disabled. It opens where the mouse cursor is. So I canāt even run the program then continue my work flow on a second monitor because the splash screen will always and forever interrupt what Iām doing exactly where Iām looking every time, even if Iām 3 monitors away and the program is opening on the first monitor. could not be worse.
