Splash screen should support parallel initialization tasks (was: 'Reading local plugin information' 3 times @ startup?)

[rickmastfan67]

Is this suppose to be happening? Seems kinda weird to see three sets of time for that line on the startup screen, even if you might see if for only a second.

The three lines in different gray colors have been added before the initialization tasks have been parallelized. When some tasks finish at about the same time, this may lead to described behaviour …

To fix this, one would have to modify SplashScreen quite a bit since the concept of ProgressMonitor does currently not work with parallel operations …

[rickmastfan67]

I was just more curious than anything about this.

[simon04]

This is achieved using a specialized ProgressMonitor for the splash screen.

On my system, the splash window stays at a fixed size and the content is scrolled in a strange way. Maybe add a scroll box for the bullet list?

Interesting. I'm using

+ ​http://i3wm.org/

We could set a fixed height of say 240px for the content …

v2: refactoring of the code/patch and a fixed height of 320px for the task list …
