A little problem ,I just want to know why it takes much time to start up. When I use 1.2 version , it start up quickly, just few seconds. But when I double click 1.3 version, It takes about 2 minutes until UI appear. I use only very low hardware configuration, maybe you don't have this problem, I just want to know why new version starts up take more time.
When you switch between versions, it takes a bit more time, but after you open it once, when opening a second time consecutively it takes lesser time. This is because opening LMMS checks the configuration files, and since different versions of LMMS have different formats for the configuration, each time you open a version of LMMS different from what you opened the last time, it rewrites the configuration file.
However, even I have noticed that on average my 1.3 takes considerably longer than 1.2 to startup.
So I checked with LMMS 0.4 which I also have... the first time obviously it takes extra time to rewrite config files, but after that it takes barely a second. Much faster than 1.2.0.
So I'd guess this may be due to new features?
