Defer loading of plugins till after the app has loaded
Reported by Kieran P | July 17th, 2010 @ 07:59 AM
When I open the app, it takes 10 seconds to fully boot up. 5 seconds of that is the loading of plugins.
Can you defer the loading of plugins until after the main app and gui have loaded? Maybe a spinner in the bottom right of the application which when hovered over reads "Loading plugins".
Ten seconds for a blank document to open up is a long time.

Oh, heck. Please move the previous 2 items to the issue of the terminal. Really screwed up there.

Thomas: Np :)
Kieran: the snagette with your plan is that ALL of redcar is implemented using plugins.
I have thought about being able to say to the plugin manager: "Load the redcar plugin and all dependencies (but nothing else)" and then after that has loaded the gui, saying "now load everything else in the background".
It's a bit fiddly though...
