I have no idea if this occurred also previously:
after startup the splash screen is "dominant" in the foreground, even
during Jitsi loads all modules I cannot force any other application to
"cover" it unless Jitsi´s start is completed.
is this a feature?
MacOS 10.8.5 nb5354
Hi,
nope its not a feature. I think its always been like this. We use the
java runtime splashscreen implementation and we have no control over
it.

"I think it does qualify as a feature. That's how all splash screens behave.“
Which is, why using a splash screen in the first place is a very bad idea. Placing a useless splash screen right in the users face, which doesn’t even go to background if other applications are selected is very unfriendly and bad UX. Why should the user want to sit idle having to wait for jitsi to do it’s thing? The existing behavior is preventing real work from being done and is frustrating to users.
I can recall a time when jitsi did not have a splash screen. Also I can recall a time when jitsi booted up much faster. I am not sure what happened that startup times did decrease dramatically. But I disliked the rather ugly splash screen since it’s introduction.
Using an SSD here and yet jitsi still requires some time to start.
Nowadays not many applications do even use a splash screen. I can only think of the bitcoin client (which is very unstable software and a bad example). The most prominent example probably is adobe using splash screens all over the place (with the exception of acrobat).
my cents...

I totally agree with you, foss.
And here my cents...
@damencho:
In science, and I regard software engineering as science,
sentences like "all are doing that" or "it has always been like this"
are a no go! Otherwise men kin would not have made any progress as
at a particular point in time everything "has always been like it is"!
Science always lives from objectiveness, transparency,
measure-ability, reproducibility� and re-thinking of finding, laws and
processes (by the way, good base principles for life also ;-).
If a system has to load a lot of libraries and to do a lot of configs at
startup it is wise to separate this into threads, build the mostly
used features first, show UI etc. and load the other stuff in background.
This splash screen is something like telling:
"You have to watch how long we need to start! No other way!" This kind of
hinders the acceptance a lot, as foss pointed out.
Cheers,
Matt
I totally agree with you, foss.
And here my cents...
Jez, that discussion again. It's not like it hasn't been there for a year
now.

It's simply similar to how a great deal of other software behaves. Just the
Bitcoin client foss, says? What about
- All Office applications
- Adobe applications as already mentioned
- Eclipse
- Visual Studio
- Wireshark
- System Center consoles

You're welcome to write a patch that loads the main UI while it displays a
wheel until everything is ready.

"You have to watch how long we need to start! No other way!" This kind of

Oh great. The I consider the acceptance problem of "I doubleclicked, where
the app?" much bigger than a splash screen at login while I have to wait for
the rest of my system anyway.

This is exactly the type of discussion one should not go into ("others are doing it
also..."). And it should definitely not go like systemd discussion in debian. So let's
talk facts and let's decide what are the advantages and disadvantages and if it will
be accepted as a piont to look at by the defs. Then let's talk about the efforts
and create a ticket as a todo. It then can be assigned, prioritized etc.
So, the first step has been done and there has been field report about this topic from
user side (foss and me). Let's first collect the feedback from other people and
do the first step in balancing the votes if this topic will be taken into account
being worked on...

This is one of the feedbacks we expect (see above). Thanks for that and good point.

So, to add here, we need the informatio on which system this is happening. I just tested
it on my system (Kubuntu trusty x64, jdk1.7) and I am able to switch to other apps
which stay in front of loading splash screen. But because of the focus issues, I have
configured KDE such that I have set the "prevent activation..." settings to "medium".
I do not know if this has any impact. But it eases the focus issue where Jitsi graps
focus from any app, if a message arrives in chat windows.

I absolutely agree that the advantages and disadvantages should be compared objectively. However, users expect an environment in which applications behave similarly, and braking or not braking this expectation should be considered as well.

agreed. If most systems do have a splash screen and Jitsi should behave
similar then the outcome would be to leave it like it is.
If the splash screen is not an issues then the performance is maybe the
topic to focus at.

hi,
this was a valid discussion. It was not too time consuming anyway, I think.
Startup time is discussable, though. But lets's do this not in

Btw., If it behaves like you described on MacOS then it is annoyoing indeed.
Question is why it is behaving different. Is it Java, is it OS?
It does not happen on Linux here. Which Java Version are you using?

1.7.0_45-b18.
I my opinion (and remembering) the "always foreground splash screen" on

Because before this update I would have been a bit annoyed if I could
not hide the splash screen during startup by other software, I would

I think you are right. I'm pretty sure that previously in was only shown while the Jitsi window was selected/visible (that is, you could change to another window and not see the Jitsi splash). Now as soon as you cmd-tab it pops back in the foreground.
