I'm looking for techniques on how to display a startup or loading panel for my app. There is some initial processing that needs to be done and it can sometimes be moderately lengthy in terms of making the user wait.

What I'd like to do is display a startup graphic with licensing and copyright information as well as perhaps some updating text fields. Well, maybe I'll add the updating text fields later.

Anyway, I thought of changing the structure of my app so that the main nib displays the startup and then loads what used to be my main nib with my primary view, menu, etc. I'm not experienced enough with AppKit to know whether or not that is a good approach.

Any suggestions? It looks like there are plenty of applications that do this sort of thing on startup. How do you guys implement this type of behavior?
