Hi Fabien Yes I agree that what the load bar showed was not necessarily a true view of what was going on. Once stellarium has been loaded a first time it loads almost instantly. On my Windows, 9 star catalogues and 23MB of nebulae for me load in 8 seconds from a cold start and 4 seconds on a warm re-start. I did not notice any difference with the change to binary of the location file so it probably only gained one or two seconds. However if I remove the starsconfig.json and then start again it takes 2 minutes a 10 seconds to load a new starsconfig.json. While this is happening there is no indication that Stellarium is still alive. It needs something moving to show Stellaium is actually still working.
