Bug ID: 449064
Summary: Program very slow to launch first time; no splash
screen or spinning circle
Product: okular
Version: unspecified
Platform: Mint (Ubuntu based)
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: okular-devel@kde.org
Reporter: greenandpleasant2000-supp...@yahoo.co.uk
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
***
Okular takes at least 15 seconds to launch first time (from the menu).
Subsequent launchings in the same session are OK, however, taking only 2
seconds. This compares very unfavourably with Xreader, say which takes only 3
secs to launch first time from the menu.
Another issue is the lack of any splash screen, or spinning circle on the
screen. This is especially important when you are launching by double-clicking
on a pdf file, say, to tell the user that the double-click has worked. On a
good few ocasions I have accidentally launched two verions of Okular or else
waited for a program launch that didn't happen because of a "mis-click".
