Please change the application start-up splash screen to be non-modal so that other work can be done while the application is launching.

However, it is irritating that it puts itself in front of other windows without doing so "the right way" Thus, the other window still has focus, and clicking on it will not bring it back to the front. One has to click something else to take focus away from it then click on it again to get it in front of SmartSVN. I guess it can't be Smart about everything. :-) As far as I know, _every_ operating system release in the last ten years has been fully multi-tasking. So we programmers need to stop writing code that acts like it's all there is. -- Wes Groleau Gaffes Can Be Deceiving http://Ideas.Lang-Learn.us/WWW?itemid=610 ------------------------------------ Yahoo!

I'm not sure what you mean with non-modal in case of a splash-screen, but if
it annoys you, you can disable it by setting the property smartsvn.splashScreen.show to false. For details about how to set a property, please see http://www.syntevo.com/smartsvn/documentation.html?page=vmoptions#vmoptions.propertiesfile -- Best regards, Thomas Singer ============= syntevo GmbH http://www.syntevo.com http://blog.syntevo.com grkuntzmd <grk@...> wrote: > > Please change the application start-up splash screen to be non-modal so that > other work can be done while the application is launching. > > ----- > G.

When I start other Java-based applications, like eclipse or netbeans, they also show splash screens, but if I click on another application, the new application covers the splash. With SmartSVN, the splash stays in front and it is difficult to use the second application until the splash disappears.
I misspoke when I said 'modal'. The other application receives the focus, but stays behind the splash. Like Wes Groleau said, "As far as I know, _every_ operating system release in the last ten years has been fully multi-tasking. So we programmers need to stop writing code that acts like it's all there is." BTW, I am running Linux. Thanks for the property fix. That worked.

SmartSVN's splash screen is a very primitive one - we don't even use code to
keep it always on top. At least on Windows it is absolutely no problem to start other applications which occur in front of the SmartSVN splash screen. -- Best regards, Thomas Singer ============= syntevo GmbH http://www.syntevo.com http://blog.syntevo.com grkuntzmd <grk@...> wrote: > > When I start other Java-based applications, like eclipse or netbeans, they > also show splash screens, but if I click on another application, the new > application covers the splash.

I Agree, it is not a problem on Windows. Maybe a problem of JDK on Linux.
