It would be great to have version information displayed on the splash window. I have eMClient installed on three computers, and sometimes I forget to update it. I like using winget for all program updates since it automatically verifies the hash. Something like this:
Your version: 10.10.10
Current version: 10.10.11
Beta version: 10.11.0
Some people have suggested removing the splash window or adding an option to disable it. As a developer with over thirty years of experience, I’m certain the splash window isn’t what’s slowing down startup. On a reasonably equipped computer, displaying it takes less than a second. What actually takes time is loading your email database and verifying its integrity. There are likely other tasks too, like checking JSON files for updates and integrity, along with other program checks. Still, I believe users should have the choice to hide the splash screen; just keep in mind you’ll see nothing for the same amount of time while the program runs its prestart routines.
