Questions how to make DO lighter on resources

Help & Support
1

Hi,

I'm having extremely long delays before the DO tray icon appears every time I start up the system. My 1st guess is that I have some toolbars & buttons which all contain app shortcuts, and the icons assigned are from the application .exe's themselves.

Therefor, I suspect that DO has to read-in all those .exe on startup to retrieve the icons, and my Anti-Virus probably scans all these .exe's also, because they are being read.

...Now, What I want to know.

  1. Does DO uses some kind of cache to store the button icons it uses, or does it have to read those all again the next time the system starts ?

  2. Would it be lighter/faster on resources/loading times if I would extract the icons from the .exe's using something like Resource Hacker, and put all the .ico's in some folder & assign this as the button icons for all my toolbars ?

Thank you.

The icons aren't cached so Opus opens the exes each time to load their icons.

Try extracting them to .ico files and see if it improves things. It's definitely possible.

Thanks a lot.
Maybe a little FAQ item in a responsiveness or speed related FAQ could be added for others.

Thanks for the help Leo !
