Although there are ways to speed up SM's VST/EXE loading, I think there are a few reasons to have a loading splash screen: 1) Let the user know what VST is taking so long when a project full of VSTs is being opened in the host. 2) Give an illusion of a VST loading faster, since feedback is immediately given at the start. 3) Give the developer information of where the VST is being hung. 4) Branding

- /me hates splash screens - splash screens are just an excuse for lazy programming _. sm itself should start at the speed of light _. schematics should be able to do the usual tricks, e.g. display UI then do calculations, ...

I'm with rl on this one I see no need for SM plugins to take as long as they do to load

okay, related to plugins i have to agree with you but when we talk about exe files it would be nice if we could exchange the standard loading splash screen with a selfmade one. i mean everybody wants his exe´s to load as quick as possible i think but it would be a nice feature...

Yeah on exe i have said it before and i will say it again It is an after thought nothing more I wish the exe support was much better and not just replacing the splash screen but there should be no menu across the top either That should all be builder specific Every single thing should be available in the toolbox to the builder for their own choice The save as exe support is like i say an after thought

It seems like a workaround idea, the main solution is to get rid of the long load times and also optimize modules. This should have been one of the main focuses of the development imo but a lot of people now just want asm/code versions of everything as they are much faster but the load time issue remains still. For the exe export which i don't often use it could be good i guess but definitely not for vsts as the only time you see that sort of thing in plugins is nag screen demo versions.
