Status in OpenShot Video Editor: Fix Released
Bug description:
Due to a recent change, OpenShot is not loading effects and transitions during
startup, but only when the respective tabs are selected for the first time.
This effectively improved the startup time, but created a very noticeable delay
when the effects and transitions tabs are selected for the first time.
One could argue that the previous situation was better, as a longer startup
time makes the user wait when he has not started to work yet, while taking
longer to open tabs interrupts the workflow, even if just once.
My suggestion is going back to the previous situation, but adding a loading
splash screen with a progress bar, so the user can see that there is a clear
reason for the delay.
Alternatively, if the current situation will be kept, some kind of "loading..."
label could appear while the tab is not fully loaded.
