Hi all,
Thanks for the proposal Stephane, this is a good idea!
As a reminder, currently each toolbox is free to display anything at startup
and the toolbox skeleton provides a default “Start ” + TOOLBOX_NAME then
display information that ease development (gateways, help and so on). Migrating
to another display is only a matter of convention, for example by checking if
the global %toolboxes variable is available than do not display anything.

Subject: [Scilab-users] Toolboxes startup
Hi all,
I just made available for macOS and Linux the toolboxes stixbox depends upon
for macOS (distfun and linalg) and my remark is that when a lot of modules are
loaded at startup then the output can become very long and sometimes messy,
since we don't impose a normalized output:
Scilab branch-6.1 (Apr 19 2021, 23:19:29)
Start Distfun
Start Helptbx
Start Specfun
Start Makematrix
Start Apifun
Load macros
Type "help apifun_overview" for a quick start.
Start Linalg
Start Stixbox
I would rather expect something like:
Scilab branch-6.1 (Apr 19 2021, 23:19:29)
Start modules: Distfun, Helptbx, Specfun, Makematrix, Apifun, Linalg, Stixbox.
-->
The verbosity level of the output (with the above default) could be defined in
user preferences, and checked in module startup script in order to output the
required amount of information.
That's just a propostion to be discussed, of course.
S.
