            Bug ID: 449064
           Summary: Program very slow to launch first time; no splash
                    screen or spinning circle
           Product: okular
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Mint (Ubuntu based)
                OS: Linux
            Status: REPORTED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general

  Target Milestone: ---

SUMMARY
***
Okular takes at least 15 seconds to launch first time (from the menu).
Subsequent launchings in the same session are OK, however, taking only 2
seconds. This compares very unfavourably with Xreader, say which takes only 3
secs to launch first time from the menu.

Another issue is the lack of any splash screen, or spinning circle on the
screen. This is especially important when you are launching by double-clicking
on a pdf file, say, to tell the user that the double-click has worked. On a
good few ocasions I have accidentally launched two verions of Okular or else
waited for a program launch that didn't happen because of a "mis-click".
