We have 2 cases of startup:

  1. load the app via icon on desktop or main menu
  2. load the app with selected file(s)

In first case we don't need fonts immediately. Can you load fonts in background after show the app? This will save, on my PC as example, 4 seconds!

 

thank you.

Don't think so. It used to be possible to use

"C:\Program Files\Affinity\Photo\Photo.exe" --disable-font-preview-cache

which sped up the load a bit but I can't get this work on version 1.10

Maybe there are font manager tricks but I have no knowledge of such.

Unfortunately there's no option to skip/load fonts in the background, AFAIK this is always done when initiating Affinity - my apologies!

The main font manager trick is to uninstall most of the fonts not needed by your operating system, and then to use the font manager to load (i.e. temporarily install) the fonts you want for a particular project.
