------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Tue Jan 17 03:59:23 -0800 2006 ------- So - the attached patch is a tad of a hack - clearly advice wrt. re-factoring much appreciated. The main part of the hack is 2-fold: a) using a far simple mangling than md5 for the pipe hash (so this can be replicated easily & with few dependencies outside OO.o) b) writing startup progress information to a pipe using fprintf - c'est la vie. Improvements appreciated. It's behavior is obvious - and follows from the win32 work in this area. It gives a very substantial 2nd startup time win - and also shows the splash way earlier than an equivalent stock OO.o launch. To make it work - it's necssary to have a number of wrappers eg. 'oowriter': #!/bin/sh export OOO_EXTRA_ARG=-writer /usr/lib/ooo-2.0/program/ooqstart for each component (at least - that's how we use it). We use the Gtk+ toolkit to throw up the splash - however, it's not initialized before the pipe-work is done; so it has no performance impact really. The use of gtk+ has 2 nice properties: a) Startup-notification - getting this right is mandatory, gtk+ includes code to do that - avoiding that being re-written. b) Splash dithering - on 16bit displays a detailed/gradient splash looks shockingly bad when rendered by the OO.o code - since there is no dithering, gtk+ has code to do that rather nicely - (at least in theory) - possibly we need to do work here to use DITHER_MAX - but, Anyhow - patch attached. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
