Hi, This was obviously a wrong alarm. Loading the OJ Plus version is for sure slow but it comes from some other component than VertexSymbols. I guess it might be Sextante but I must try it in a controlled way.
The reason to claim it was VertexSymbols is that the splash screen shows "Loading VertexSymbols" when the slow part is going on. Probably VertexSymbols is already loaded at that phase but the text remains in the splash screen and the next plugin that is loaded does not update the text on the screen. I do not know if it is possible, but in this case if the VertexSymbol loader could update the text into "VertexSymbols installed successfully" we would know that it is OK even if the next plugin did not update the text into "Loading Sextante boundings" or something. The Java window collects some log data Loading fr.michaelm.jump.plugin.aggregation.AggregationExtension Loading fr.michaelm.jump.bsheditor.BshEditorPlugInExtension Loading fr.michaelm.jump.drivers.dxf.DXFDriverConfiguration Loading fr.michaelm.jump.plugin.graph.GraphExtension Could it be possible to enhance that to write out the result as"...Loaded in 1234 milliseconds"? -Jukka Rahkonen- ________________________________ Geoffrey Roy wrote: > Dear ede and others > If there is a problem with loading symbols then it will apply equally for the > VertexSymbols plugin and to the FillPattern plugin, as both used the same > in-line process for loading all symbols at startup. > I have modified this process, in both plugins, to run in a separate thread so > it should not delay the completion of the initial OpenJump (GUI) setup.

The suggestions are either: 1. Load on demand (first load will take a little time), or 2. Create a background thread to load the symbols Am I right? If this is the case, then I will try to look at the issue - it may be 2 or 3 weeks before I have the time.
