Notes 8.0.2 standard splashscreen and rant about standard notes

Oh my, wasn't there a more professional way to do this:

Basicly it looks like they took two things and just placed them on top of each other... When you click on the splash screen you can move it around, but without the progress bar. If you click on another process and then on the notes process, only the progressbar is shown (fun again...).

Anyway: back to the basic client... Why?
  • You can open two ID Files/ Notes instances at the same time (normal and Admin)
  • Simple much faster
  • a lot easier for the admin (i know the internals of my data directory to fix any isue I came across, but not of the data/workspace one...)
  • I haven't found anything in the fancy new UI, which I really need.
8.5 will be bad: I can't open two IDs anymore, because I need the designer client in my admin instance, which is usually the second client I open. And using Designer in 8.5 means that I have to open my admin notes first (one of them can be a standard client, but it must be the first one), which basicly means that each time I have to look something up in the design, I have to close my normal basic notes, my admin basic notes, open the admin standard notes, switch to designer and open my normal notes. And it takes ages to open a not-yet-opend database in DDE. This sucks!

I agree completely with your ID thing. The answer I was given is, "No one else needs that, only consultants. Use vmware and a different ID in a vm."
