Hi Mirek,

I have one remark to this topic, although not really related to MT. The initialization of Assist++ and Topic++ at the start of theide can be quite lengthy, especially for big projects on slow computer (like mine Smile

). As none of these is directly necessary for programmer to work, they could be simply performed in background. Only if the programmer decides to bring up Assist before the scan is complete, he might have to wait, but otherwise he can start working couple seconds earlier. No wasting time, time is money Very Happy

Also applications that start quickly IMHO look much more "cool", in comparison to bloated, slow to start software (Don't you hate it when you have to look 30s at splash screen before you can start to do some simple editing job in OpenOffice? Smile

).

This is of course possible to implement in ST as well. Possibly the best solution would be to provide some generic way to allow such tasks to run using callbacks and ProcessEvents() in ST and Threads in MT, so that in both cases maximum efficiency would be achieved.

Best regards,
Honza
