Splash screen on top of all windows?

PostTue Sep 19, 2017 2:16 pm

It's a bit annoying (nothing critical) that the splash screen is on top of all other windows when the program is loading. What do you think?
How long does it take to load Davinci Resolve 14 in your system? Maybe in a better system the splash screen doesn't appear much.

Lauch DR => splash screen : 12 seconds => Project Window.

ok thanks. it's 18 seconds for me. I was hoping in a new computer it could be like 4 seconds or so...
Let's see who has the fastest splash screen in the forum? :)

For me it's 18 seconds.. it's an old i7 and old SSD. In those 18 seconds I can open a explorer window to find the media items to be ready for drag and drop to the media bins, but it's difficult with the Resolve splash screen on top of everything...

Try clicking on the desk top or an open program when Resolve first starts.

That's my thought as well. I couldn't survive without multiple desktops on Mac OSX (and I'm certain the same basic feature works in Windows).

Hi,
I think alt + tab as much as needed during launch can do the trick on any OS :)

It's curious. I just tested: during the splashscreen, nothing prevented me from launching 2 applications whose icon were on the desktop or from menu Start => Applications => etc... . Here, the splashscreen is NOT nodal (exclusive compared to other applications).

I find it annoying as well. Starting on top is fine, but if I click somewhere else, that window shouldn't stay in front.

You need to click on the desktop (or another application) BEFORE the splash screen is visible, at least that's how it works on my machine. Otherwise the splash screen is model.

oh wow.. you are right... very weird behaviour. But at least it's a workaround. Thanks! :D Switching to another application instead of clicking in the desktop also works.
