Often the programmer use the splash screen to prevent that the user can too early work in the app.
Because the app loads a lot of librairies in the background and needs some time for background processes. Then the splash-screen dissapears when all background work is done.
Dangerous.

I disabled the splash screen ages ago when it first came out by simply checking a little box that gave that option, haven't seen it since. And for me Sonar opens instantly and I can then load a song using the file menu or quick list and that takes another 5 second.
It would seem they took that little check box away in newer versions?

I may have misunderstood here, but I don't think the "splash" screen that is being referred to and the start screen are the same thing. Plat is very slow to open for me too, I didn't realise quite how slow it had gotten compared to previous versions until I opened 8.5 recently to try and help someone in another thread.

Noel posted on how SONAR loads a couple of years ago and rewire is in there. I had loaded a 32 to 64 rewire bridge and my load times had jumped from a couple seconds to over 40. There may be other apps that do similar, but that one in particular was menacing. I forget the details of that post, but it was informative.

Sooo...you said "then re-name it for ex:(splashX.dib) "
does that mean rename it to ex:(splashx.dib)- exactly that way with parentheses?
and this won't hurt anything?

Just rename it splash.dib.old
done.
However, each new update loads a fresh splash.dib so you have to be vigilant.

While I have not deleted it (would save a whole 50ms anyway on my system) I edit mine to colourise the squares at the bottom and include the version and build number and early release if necessary.
The file is a BMP file with a resolution of 640pixels x 260pixels, but with a DIB extension.
I also have a script the put the colour version back after each update (Which should be dropping any time now)

Oooopsy! I was hoping no one would notice....  but you are right. If you don't want the splash screen to show you can rename it anything you want and Sonar will think its missing, or you can just move it to another folder.
