Medved startup minimized/ Logging level none

[makincash]

Any way to have Medved launch completely minimized?  

Any way to force logging level to None on launch?

The reason I ask is that it takes at a minimum 1:30 seconds for Medved to completely load up (all news/alert pop ups etc to complete) when the markets are closed, longer if they are open. And during that time I keep losing the focus to Medved so I can't really do anything with any other applications.

Thank you,

Jeff

The logging at level 10 is really not adding to the startup time. 

As for not having everything load, the only thing you can do is force MT to start with a specific layout - like maybe one with just the dashboard, or dashboard and just the portfolios. That should be drastically faster than loading all the charts. Then you can load the layout with the charts later, but the data would be gathered meanwhile.

save a copy of the bare bones layout on the dashboard.  Then to start MT, just double click on that layout file. The Layout file extension should be associated with MT and should start MT but with that layout vs the default one that was saved previously.
