[QUOTE="msj33, post: 939950, member: 16747"] What I am trying to say - I wish for a better load behavior of plugins. Not only are some plugins "hardcoded" in windowplugins.dll, but all enabled .dll plugins are loaded before displaying the GUI. My idea about a more logic way to do this, is by "cheating" the user to think everything is loaded. [LIST=1] [*]User opens Mediaportal [*]Load only skin(+dependencies) & Menu(with menu items for all enabled extensions/plugins - but do not load the plugins yet!). [*]Plugin load behavior could then be by default, optional or set by plugin developer: [LIST=1] [*]Load ALL plugins in background by default - If user enters menu item before plugin is loaded=Show "loading circle" [*]Let developer set load behaviour(Background/clicked)? [*]Load plugins, when it's clicked (not optimal) [/LIST] [/LIST] I would rather display the GUI, than the actual "loading" screen - Yes, it works.........but its not pretty /Morten [/QUOTE]
