Slow ChimeraX startup due to Toolshed

Reported by: goddard@… Owned by: Greg Couch

Description 

The following bug report has been submitted:
Platform:        Windows-10-10.0.19041
ChimeraX Version: 1.2.dev202010100248 (2020-10-10 02:48:32 UTC)
Description
Took about 15 seconds to start saying "Initializing ChimeraX Core..." on the splash screen.  I thought it was hung.  Probably related to the log note "Updating list of available bundles failed".  This should not make startup horribly slow.

Log:
Startup Messages

I had just opened the laptop and believe that WiFi had not connected yet.  But of course ChimeraX has to start fast offline.

Summary: ChimeraX bug report submission → Slow ChimeraX startup due to Toolshed

comment:3 by Greg Couch, 5 years ago

Status: assigned → accepted

The very first time ChimeraX starts up, it does a synchronous query of the Toolshed to information about available bundles. That information is used to allow users to easily install bundles for commands and file types that are not currently installed. All subsequently queries are done asychronously. That query is skipped if particular command line arguments are given: --exit, --noexit, -m, -c, --version, or --listioformats. So a workaround would be to add --noexit to your command line.

That said, since the available bundle information is just for providing a better user experience, but is not necessary for most uses, it would be reasonable to make that asynchronous.

Fixed by solution to #3901.
