Those of you familiar with OpenInsight 10 may know that the way the IDE currently boots and restores previously loaded entities can sometimes be frustrating, mainly because it can repeatedly steal the focus, but also because you can end up with several informational messages which slow the entire process down.  If this is something that you find irritating then you’ll pleased to know we’ve made a change in v10.0.8 so that the IDE now loads invisibly in the background, while the actual boot-up progress is displayed in a splash-screen like so:

Messages are kept to a minimum, and all non-informational ones (like locking failures) are presented in a popup at the end.

These new changes should help provide a welcome and smoother experience when using the OpenInsight IDE in future.
